Abstract
The present study has been carried out to determine the direction of the nutrient foramina in adult human forearm bones. The nutrient foramina are cavities that conduct the nutrient arteries and the peripheral nerves. The nutrient artery provides the main source of blood supply to the long bones. The present study was done on 114 adult human forearm bones comprising 57 radii and 57 ulnae to observe direction of nutrient foramina and our result shows that 100% of nutrient foramina in radii and ulnae directed away from growing end. We can conclude from the result the nutrient foramen is directed towards the upper end of forearm bones.
