(ō-lĕk′rə-nŏn′) The large process on the upper end of the ulna that projects behind the elbow joint and forms the point of the elbow.
It is attached to the front of the medial epicondyle and to the front of the humerus immediately above the coronoid and radial fossae below, to the anterior surface of the coronoid process of the ulna and to the annular ligament, being continuous on either side with the collateral ligaments.
What is cubital fossa?
The cubital fossa is a small triangular area located on the anterior surface of the elbow, with the apex of the triangle pointing distally. It contains some important structures, on their passage from the arm to forearm. [[1] It is homologous to the popliteal fossa of the lower limb.
When your forearm moves toward your body by bending at your elbow, it’s called elbow flexion. The opposite movement is called elbow extension. The three bones involved in elbow flexion are the: humerus, in your upper arm. ulna, on the little finger side of your forearm.

Triceps brachii: This muscle at the back of the upper arm extends the arm and stabilizes the elbow when the hand is used for fine movements. Brachioradialis: A forearm muscle that flexes the arm at the elbow. Anconeus: This muscle helps extend the forearm at the elbow.
