Unit 5 Lecture 2 Flashcards
What three joints articulate in the region of the elbow?
Humeroulnar, humeroradial, and proximal radioulnar
What type of joint is the humeroulnar?
Hinge joint
What type of joint is the huneroradial?
Gliding joint
What type of joint is the proximal radioulnar?
Pivot joint
What movement does the proximal radioulnar joint do?
Supination
What ligaments are in the elbow?
Radial and ulnar collateral, and annular ligament
What does the annular ligament encircle?
Encircles the radial head and bind to ulna
What ligament do throwers often injury in their elbow?
Ulnar collateral ligament
When is injury of the ulnar collateral ligament prevalent?
Side arm pitching
What is Tommy John’s surgery?
Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction
What is the anterior muscles of the elbow and radioulnar joints?
Biceps brachii, brachial is, brachioradialis, pronator teres, and pronator quadratus
What is the posterior muscles of the elbow and radioulnar joints
Triceps brachii, anconeus, and supinator
Origin and insertion of biceps brachii?
Origin: scapula
Insertion: radius
Actions of the biceps brachii?
