Wrist Bone name

[lovetoscrap]

Stupid curiosity question, but what is the name of the small rounded bone that sort of sticks up on the back of your wrist on the pinky side? I have googled and can't figure out what it is called. Not even sure if technically it is a wrist bone or an arm bone.

It's just your ulna, one of two bones in your forearm.

that is the styloid process of the ulna

Pinkie Side - the bone from the wrist down is the Ulna - and the bones above it are carpals and above that metacarpals.

Thank you! I was looking at wrist bones so I guess that is why I couldn't find it.
