Which term is inside forearm near base of the wrist?

Think of terms by location on the limb. The middle or central path of things in the forearm is described by "median." The median nerve travels through the forearm and into the hand by passing through the carpal tunnel at the base of the wrist, so it sits at the forearm near the wrist. The other options point to different regions or concepts: "radial" relates to the thumb-side/ladius area; "tibial" is a leg term; and "clavicle notch" is a shoulder feature. So median is the fit for something located inside the forearm near the base of the wrist.
