In this article, I will explain the forearm interperiosteum in detail.
The forearm mesosseous membrane is located between the radius and ulna, and is an important structure that maintains stability between forearm bones. This membrane supports hand movement and forearm rotation, and plays a role in various activities of daily living and sports activities. When this membrane is affected by injury or illness, hand and arm function may be greatly affected. Anatomical features, functions, and potential issues are discussed in detail, and methods of diagnosis and treatment options are also discussed. Please use this article to deepen your understanding of the body.

What is the interosseous membrane of the forearm
The forearm mesosseous membrane is an important connective tissue located in the forearm and indicates the membrane that connects the radius (spine) and ulna (ulna). This membrane plays a role in reducing friction between bones and improving forearm stability.
How to read the forearm mesosseous membrane
Forearm mesosseous membrane is read as “all around” in Japanese. This structure is a membrane that exists between bones and is one of the elements that support the functional aspects of the forearm.
Characteristics of the forearm mesosseous membrane
If you refer to the human anatomy chart, you can see that the forearm interperiosteum is an elastic yet very strong tissue. In particular, this membrane plays an important role in forearm rotation and force transmission.
Location and position of the interosseous membrane of the forearm

The forearm mesosseous membrane is located between the radius and ulna, and connects these two bones. The exact location of this membrane can be visually grasped using a human anatomy chart.
How to remember the forearm mesosseous membrane
An easy way to remember the forearm mesosseous membrane is to remember the phrase “the center of the forearm, the membrane connecting the radius and ulna.” This phrase makes it easy to remember both its location and function.
English and Latin for forearm mesosseous membrane
In English, the forearm interperiosteum is expressed as “Interosseous Membrane of the Forearm.” In Latin, it is called “Membrana interossea antebrachii.”
Trivia about the forearm mesosseous membrane
The forearm mesosseous membrane affects many of the muscles involved in hand movements. It also works to protect the forearm from injuries during certain sports and daily activities.
Tissues associated with the interosseous membrane of the forearm: characteristics of the radius
The radius is one of the two main bones of the forearm and is located on the side (outside) of the hand. One of the most prominent features of the radius is that its tip is connected to the wrist, which greatly contributes to wrist movement.
Also, due to its length and shape, the radius is a major factor in forearm rotation. In relation to the forearm interosseous membrane, the radius is connected along with the ulna via this membrane to enhance the stability and functionality of the forearm.
Tissues associated with the forearm mesosseous membrane: location and position of the radius
The radius is located on the outside of the forearm, or on the thumb side, and continues in the direction of the wrist. At the top, it connects to the arm bone through the head of the radius near the elbow, and at the bottom, it forms many small bones and joints in the wrist. Importantly, the radius plays a major role in forearm movements, particularly affecting wrist flexion and abduction.
Also, the positional relationship with the forearm interosseous membrane indicates that this membrane exists between the radius and ulna and supports the coordinated movement of both bones.
Tissues associated with the interosseous membrane of the forearm: trivia about the radius
As an interesting piece of information related to the radius, this bone is one of the areas prone to fractures. In particular, a type of fracture called a “Corliss fracture” often occurs when there is a direct impact on the wrist, for example when a fall is attached to the hand. Such fractures highlight how important the radius is for forearm movement and hand function.
Furthermore, a healthy relationship between the radius bone and forearm interperiosteum is essential for forearm stability and efficient force transmission, and greatly contributes to performance in daily life and sports activities.
White line quiz and correct answers
Q1.Which two bones does the forearm mesosseous membrane connect?
Correct answer:The radius (head) and ulna (shakko).
summary
This time, I explained the location and location of the “forearm interosseous membrane”, how to memorize it, and the English and Latin notation.
How was it?
I would be happy if reading this article deepened my understanding of anatomy.
Learning is a long, never-ending journey, but I sincerely wish you all the best. Let's continue to study together and work hard for the national exam!
Please look forward to the next blog.
