Joint
This joint forms the connection between the head of the radius and the capitulum of the humerus
This posterior projection of the ulna forms the tip of the elbow
What is the olecranon process
This nerve supplies most of the wrist and finger extensors
What is the radial nerve
Name the flexors of the elbow
What is biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis
This ligament complex resists valgus stress at the elbow
What is the ulnar collateral ligament
The elbow joint is classified as what type of joint
What is modified hinge joint
This lateral projection of the humerus serves as the attachment site for the wrist extensors
This nerve passes behind the medial epicondyle and is often irritated in "funny bone" injuries
Name 2 muscles innervated by the radial nerve
What is Anconeus, triceps brachii, brachioradialis, supinator
This ligament complex resists varus stress at the elbow
What is the radial collateral ligament complex
What is humeroulnar joint, humeroradial joint, proximal radioulnar joint
This structure in the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna
This nerve innervates most of the forearm flexors
What is median nerve
This ligament encircles the head of the radius, allowing pronation and supination
What is the annular ligament
What joint discussed does not belong to the shared elbow joint but assists with supination and pronation of the forearm
What is distal radioulnar joint
This depression on the posterior humerus accommodates the olecranon process during elbow extension
This nerve supplies the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles
What is the musculocutaneous nerve
List the actions of the biceps brachii
What is flexes the elbow, supinates the forearm, flexes the shoulder
The UCL consists of these three bundles
What are the anterior, posterior, and transverse bundles
what movements happen with the humeroradial joint
What is flexion and extension; also allows for some supination and pronation
This bony landmark on the radius serves as the insertion site for the biceps brachii
What is the radial tuberosity
This nerve originates from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus and innervates the deltoid
What is the axillary nerve
Name the muscle that originates on the medial, anterior surface of distal ulna and inserts onto the lateral, anterior surface of distal radius
What is pronator quadratus
The radial collateral ligament complex is composed of these three parts
What are the annular ligament, radial collateral ligament, and lateral ulnar collateral ligament
