Forearm Flashcards
location of the ulna
little finger side (medial)
what does the ulna articulate with at the proximal end?
the anterior coronoid process and the posterior olecranon process
what separates the coronoid and olecranon processes?
trochlear notch
location of the radius
on the thumb side (lateral bone)
what does the radius articulate with on the proximal end?
the head articulates with the capitulum of the humerus
how does the ulna attach to the humerus?
the olecranon and coronoid process grip the trochlea of the humerus like pliers
location of the radial tuberosity
just below the head of the radius
function of the radial tuberosity
where the tendon and muscle of the bicep muscles attach
what do the ulna and radius both articulate with?
radioulnar joints
what are the radius and ulna connected by?
flexible interosseous membrane
