Elbow Tendons and ligaments+membranes
a ligament found in the elbow joint it connects the ulna to the radius to help stabilize the joint.
Angular ligament
a smooth, grooved articular process shaped like a pulley, found on the distal end of the humerus. It articulates with the ulna and enables flexion and extension movements of the forearm.
Trochlea
a small, triangular muscle of the arm. It is located at the posterior aspect of the elbow, extending from the distal humerus to the proximal ulna.
Anconeus Muscle
The action of bending or the condition of being bent, especially the bending of a limb or joint.
Flexion
A thick triangular ligament at the medial aspect of the elbow.
Ulna collateral ligament
a rounded eminence on the lateral portion of the distal end of the humerus, which articulates with the head of the radius.
Capitulum
A superficial muscle of the palmar side of the forearm that flexes the hand and assists in abducting it
Flexor Carpi Radialis Muscle
The action of extending or the state of being extended.
a strong, fibrous band of connective tissue that attaches the biceps brachii muscle to the radius bone in the forearm. It allows the biceps muscle to exert force on the forearm, facilitating movements such as elbow flexion and forearm supination.
Biceps Brachii tendon
a shallow depression on the anterior surface of the humerus, just above the capitulum. It accommodates the head of the radius during elbow flexion.
Radial fossa
a spiral muscle contained in the posterior compartment of the forearm.
Supinator Muscle
What is the joint which location are in the forearm where the radius and ulna articulate.
Radioulnar joint
a fibrous connective tissue structure located in the forearm between the radius and ulna bones. It helps to maintain the proper alignment of the radius and ulna during movements of the forearm and distributes forces between the two bones.
Interosseous membrane
end of the radius bone that articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna, forming the proximal radioulnar joint.
Head of the radius
A prime flexor of the forearm at the elbow joint.
Brachialis Muscle
The joint located near the wrist and allows for movements of pronation and supination.
Distal radioulnar joint
The strongest and most important medial stabilizer of the elbow joint and protects against excessive valgus forces.
Anterior posterior oblique
a depression on the anterior surface of the humerus, just above the trochlea. It accommodates the coronoid process of the ulna during elbow flexion.
Coronoid fossa
The most superficial muscle of the superficial forearm flexors
Palmaris Longus Muscle
what is the name of the Rotation of the hand and forearm so that the palm backwards of downwards.
Pronation
