The coronoid process of the ulna is a triangular process projecting forward from the anterior proximal portion of the ulna. Structure
The Coronoid process (from Greek korone, "like a crown") can refer to: . The coronoid process of the mandible, part of the ramus mandibulae of the mandible; The coronoid process of the ulna, a triangular eminence projecting forward from the upper and front part of the ulna
In anatomy, a process (Latin: processus) is a projection or outgrowth of tissue from a larger body. [1] For instance, in a vertebra, a process may serve for muscle attachment and leverage (as in the case of the transverse and spinous processes), or to fit (forming a synovial joint), with another vertebra (as in the case of the articular processes).

The tuberosity of the ulna is a rough eminence on the proximal end of the ulna.It occurs at the junction of the antero-inferior surface of the coronoid process with the front of the body.
About the middle of either side of this notch is an indentation, which contracts it somewhat, and indicates the junction of the olecranon and the coronoid process. The notch is concave from above downward, and divided into a medial and a lateral portion by a smooth ridge running from the summit of the olecranon to the tip of the coronoid process.
The radial notch of the ulna (lesser sigmoid cavity) is a narrow, oblong, articular depression on the lateral side of the coronoid process; it receives the circumferential articular surface of the head of the radius. It is concave from before backward, and its prominent extremities serve for the attachment of the annular ligament.
Areas of muscle attachments are outlined in red; the black box indicates the coronoid process (Latin: processus coronoideus mandibulae).

The oblique cord is a ligament between the ulnar and radius bones in the forearm near the elbow.It takes the form of a small, flattened band, extending distally and laterally, from the lateral side of the ulnar tuberosity at the base of the coronoid process to the radius a little below the radial tuberosity.
