Greater and Lesser Tubercles.

Question 10

Answer 10

Condyle

Question 11

These are projections to either side of the humerus, they provide additional area for muscle attachment.

Answer 11

Medial and Lateral epicondyles

Question 12

This is the large, medial portion of the condyle of the humerus, shaped like a pulley. It extends from the base of the coronoid fossa to the anterior surface of the olecranon fossa.

Answer 12

Trochlea

Question 13

This forms the lateral region of the humerus’s condyle, it is proximal to the radial fossa (a shallow area that accommodates the radius).

Answer 13

Capitulum

Question 14

Answer 14

Olecranon

Question 15

This is found on the anterior surface of the ulna, it articulates with the trochlea of the humerus at the elbow joint.

Answer 15

Trochlear notch

Question 16

This part of the ulna forms the inferior lip of the notch.

Answer 16

Coronoid process

Question 17

This part of the ulna is lateral to the coronoid process, it is smooth, and accommodates the radius.

Answer 17

Radial notch.

Question 18

This connects the lateral margin of the ulna to the radius along its length.

Answer 18

Fibrous sheet

Question 19

Question 21

The narrow neck of the radius extends from the head to this…a site of attachment for the biceps muscles.

Answer 21

Radial tuberosity

Question 22

The disc-shaped head of the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus at the elbow joint and with the ulna at this…

Answer 22

Radial notch
