This is a large prominence at the proximal end of the
ulna. It rotates about the trochlea, and articulates between the humerus and ulna.
What is the Olecranon process of the ulna
100
Movements of the radioulnar joint take place in this plane about this axis
What is the transverse plane and vertical (or longitudinal) axis.
100
a lateral deviation of 5-15 degrees (of the forearm) which allows the forearms to clear the hips during swinging movements like walking.
What is the carrying angle of the forearm
200
The only attachment of the upper extremity to the axial skeletal is via this joint
sternoclavicular joint (SC joint)
200
This structure deepens the concavity of the glenoid fossa, providing stability to the humeral head
what is the labrum

The common sport injury “Tennis Elbow” is characterized by inflammation of the ____________________ muscle group, which inserts on the lateral epicondyle.
Supinator-extensor group
200
Concentric action of this muscle causes the radius to be pulled over the ulna (forearm pronation). It inserts on the distal anterior radius and originates on the distal anterior ulna
What is pronator quadratus
200
During a barbell shrug, what is the action of the shoulder girdle?
Elevation of the shoulder girdle
300
During the concentric (or contraction) phase of a lat pull down exercise, which actions occur at the scapulothoracic joint.
downward rotation and retraction
300
During abduction in the frontal plane, this nerve innervates the anterior deltoid...
what is the axillary nerve
300
Proximal to the interosseus tissue, which lies between the radius and ulna, is a specialized ligament which acts to prevent separation between the radius and ulna.
What is the oblique cord
300
The main function of this muscle is to pull the synovial membrane of the elbow joint out of the way of the advancing olecranon process during extension.
What is the Anconeus
300
The so-called "funny bone" at the elbow joint is actually pain sensed by this nerve...
What is the Ulnar Nerve

List the 5 muscles of the shoulder girdle
pectoralis minor
serratus anterior
trapezius (upper, middle, lower fibers)
rhomboids
levator scapulae
400
Inflammation and irritation of the tendons of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles as they pass through the acromial space is referred to as
rotator cuff impingement syndrome
400
Ellie reaches to open the door. As she pulls the door handle towards her (opening the door), what action is being performed at the elbow joint?
Elbow flexion
400
The supinator is innervated by this nerve
Posterior interosseus nerve
400
Development of this muscle contributes significantly to "swimmer's build," as it is used when pulling oneself forward through water.
Latissimus dorsi
500
Which muscle (or muscles) can produce all the following actions: elevation, retraction, & downward rotation.
Rhomboids

Deltoids (all three heads)
Shoulder girdle:
upper trap fibers

Flexion 0-145 degrees
True extension is 0 degrees
hyperextension less than ~10 degrees

During the lowering phase of a standard bench press, explain the action of the forearm
Pronation
