A

Lateral Humeral Epicondyle

35
Q

Which humeral epicondyle provides an origin for several Antebrachial Flexors

A

Medial Humeral Epicondyle

36
Q

Which humeral epicondyle houses the Groove for the Ulnar N.?

A

Medial Humeral Epicondyle

37
Q

What are the two articular surfaces of the Humeral Condyle?

A

Trochlea

Capitulum

38
Q

What is the humeral surface that articulates with the Ulna?

39
Q

What is the humeral surface that articulates with the Radius?

40
Q

Name the fossas of the humerus

A

Radial Fossa
Coronoid Fossa
Olecranon Fossa

41
Q

The Radial Fossa of the Humerus accomodates the Radial head when the Antebrachium is flexed or extended?

42
Q

The Coronoid Fossa accommodates the Coronoid Process of the ulna when the Antebrachium is flexed or extended?

43
Q

The Olecranon Fossa accommodates the Olecranon of the Ulna when the Antebrachium is flexed or extended?

A

Extended, because the Olecranon fossa is posterior while the coronoid and radial fossas are anterior

A

The Coronoid process is part of the Ulna
The Corocoid process is part of the scapula
