What is this small bone near elbow?

[Tamxxx]

Ok i am dying to know the scientific name for this as i am learning anatomy. Ok it's like a small circular bone near the elbow that is visible on some people. I was wondering is it called the medial medial epicondyle of humerus ?

Here is a pic i found to show what i am talking about

Radius head if the diagram I just checked is correct.

Yes, the medial epicondyle of the humerus is the bony protruberance at the bottom of your "arm bone", it provides a point of attachment for some of the muscles of your forearm, particularly the ones you need to bend, or "flex", your wrist. Although its right next to the tip of your elbow, it comes from the bone that connects to your shoulder, whereas the bone of your elbow (olecranon of the ulnar) is part of the ulnar bone which goes down to your wrist.
