Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomical location: The lateral side of the elbow refers to the outer side of the arm when viewed in anatomical position (palms facing forward). This is key to identifying the correct structure.

Review the anatomical terms provided: Each option refers to a specific bony structure. The lateral epicondyle is located on the lateral side of the distal humerus, while the medial epicondyle is on the medial side. The coronoid process is part of the ulna, and the olecranon process is the bony prominence of the elbow itself.

Focus on the lateral epicondyle: The lateral epicondyle is a bony prominence on the distal humerus, specifically on the lateral side. It serves as an attachment site for muscles and ligaments, making it a key feature in diagrams of the arm.

Eliminate incorrect options: The medial epicondyle is on the opposite (medial) side of the elbow, the coronoid process is part of the ulna near the elbow joint but not on the lateral side, and the olecranon process is the posterior bony prominence of the elbow, not lateral.

Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the bony prominence on the lateral side of the elbow is the lateral epicondyle, based on its location and function.
