Bones of the Elbow, Wrist, and Hand
This bone is the lateral bone of the forearm.
What is the radius?
This muscle is the primary flexor of the elbow.
What is the biceps brachii?
This bony prominence is commonly known as the "funny bone."
What is the olecranon process
This nerve runs behind the medial epicondyle and can cause a tingling sensation when hit.
What is the ulnar nerve?
This movement at the wrist joint brings the palm toward the forearm.
What is wrist flexion?
The olecranon process is part of this bone.
What is the ulna?
This muscle extends the elbow and inserts on the olecranon process
What is the triceps brachii?
The radial styloid process is located here.
What is the distal end of the radius?
This ligament stabilizes the lateral side of the elbow.
What is the radial collateral ligament?
The extensor carpi ulnaris muscle performs this action at the wrist.
What is wrist extension and ulnar deviation?
These bones make up the fingers.
What are the phalanges?
This muscle is responsible for flexing the wrist and originates from the medial epicondyle
What is the flexor carpi radialis?
The hook of this carpal bone can be palpated on the palm.
What is the hamate?
This structure passes through the carpal tunnel along with tendons.
What is the median nerve?
This carpal bone is most commonly fractured.
What is the scaphoid?
This bone articulates with both the humerus and the ulna at the elbow joint.
What is the radius?
This deep muscle flexes the distal interphalangeal joints.
What is the flexor digitorum profundus?
This structure forms the lateral boundary of the cubital fossa.
What is the brachioradialis muscle or lateral epicondyle?
This thick band of connective tissue holds the extensor tendons in place on the back of the wrist.
What is the extensor retinaculum?
This ligament connects the ulna to the radius and helps stabilize the interosseous space.
What is the interosseous membrane?
These eight small bones are arranged in two rows and make up the wrist.
What are the Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate
This muscle abducts the thumb and is part of the anatomical snuffbox.
What is the abductor pollicis longus?
This landmark of the ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus.
What is the trochlear notch?
This retinaculum forms the roof of the carpal tunnel.
What is the flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament)?
This condition is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist.
What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
