Anterior scalene, middle scalene and first rib
Middle scalene, posterior scalene and second rib
Anterior scalene, middle scalene and first rib
Which of the following structures is considered a bony landmark of the distal humerus? Select all that apply.
-deltoid tuberosity
-surgical neck
-capitulum
-trochlea
-olecranon fossa
-capitulum
-trochlea
-olecranon fossa
Which structures are bony landmarks for the proximal ulna? Select all that apply.
-coronoid process
-trochlear notch
-ulna styloid
-coracoid process
-olecranon
Coronoid process
Trochlear notch
Olecranon
Which of the following articulations form the humeroradial joint of the elbow?
Trochlear of the humerus & trochlear notch of the ulna
Capitulum of the humerus and head of radius
Olecranon of the ulna and the olecranon fossa of the humerus
Capitulum of the humerus and head of radius
Which of the following structures strengthens the medial aspect of the elbow joint capsule?**
Subcutaneous olecranon bursa
Ulnar collateral
Radial collateral
Ulnar Collateral
Explanation:
The ulnar collateral ligament provides stability to the medial aspect of the elbow joint capsule. The radial collateral ligament will strengthen the lateral aspect of the elbow joint capsule. The subcutaneous olecranon bursa is situated between the olecranon process of the ulna and the overlying skin. Helps reduce friction on the skin during movement of the elbow joint.
True or False: The elbow is a hinge joint that allows one degree of freedom: flexion/ extension.
True
Which of the following muscles is a muscle of the anterior compartment of the arm? Select all that apply.
-coracobrachiallis
-triceps brachii
-anconeus
-biceps brachii
-brachialis
Coracobrachiallis
Biceps Brachii
Brachialis
Which of the following muscles inserts on the radial tuberosity?
Biceps brachii
Triceps brachii
Brachialis
Biceps Brachii
Explanation
The biceps brachii will insert on the radial tuberosity. The triceps inserts on the olecranon process of the ulna, and the brachialis inserts on the ulna tuberosity.
