HAE - Arm Flashcards
radial groove
On posterior side of midshaft of humerus
capitulum
rounded protuberance on distal aspect of the humerus that articulates with the head of the radius at elbow joint
trochlea
pulley-shaped structure on distal aspect of humerus that articulates with trochlear notch of ulna at the elbow joint
coronoid fossa
depression on anterior distal surface of the humerus that receives coronoid process of the ulna during flexion of the elbow joint
olecranon fossa
depression on posterior distal surface of humerus that receives olecranon of ulna during extension of elbow joint
medial and lateral epicondyles
prominences of distal humerus on medial and lateral side of elbow
ulnar groove
groove in medial aspect of distal humerus for ulnar nerve
supracondylar ridges
extend superiorward from epicondyls; attachments for muscles of the forearm
humeroradial joint
joint between capitulum and head of the radius; shallow
trochlear notch
concave region on proximal end of ulna that articulates with trochlea of humerus
humeroulnar joint
joint between trochlea of humerus and trochlear notch of the ulna; stable
proximal radioulnar joint
joint between proximal portions of radius and ulna
anular ligament
holds together the proximal radioulnar joint ; permits pronation and supination
pronation
in anatomical position, turning the palm towards the posterior
supination
Opposite of pronation (turn palm to face anterior)
