24
Q

where is the anatomical neck of the humerus located? What is attached @ this site?

A

Supraspinatus
infraspinatus &
Teres minor

26
Q

What inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus?

A

subscapularis

27
Q

What does the Intertubercular Sulcus contain?

A

long head of biceps brachii

28
Q

This is located in the middle of the humeral shaft and serves as an attachment of the deltoid muscle?

A

Deltiod tuberosity

29
Q

On the distal end of the humerus, the anterior surface is known as (?) on the shaft and ends in the (?)

A

Sharp lateral supracondylar ridge

lateral epicondyle

30
Q

The medial supracondylar ridge terminates where?

A

@ the medial epicondyle

31
Q

This structure is rounded & its on the distal end of the humerus near the lateral epicondyle

A

Capitulum

32
Q

this has an indentation and it is medial to the capitulum (spindal shaped)

A

Trochlea

33
Q

This lies above the capitulum & contains part of radius during flexion?

A

radial fossa

34
Q

this lies above the trochlea & recieves the ulnar coronoid process during flexion?

A

coroniod fossa

35
Q

this is a large depression on the posterior distal end of the humerus that recieves the olecranon process of ulna when forearm extends?

A

Olecranon fossa

36
Q

Which forearm bone forms the medial and lateral borders of the forearm?

A

Medial= Ulna

Lateral= Radius

37
Q

What forms the prominence of the elbow and which bone of the forearm is it on?

A

Olecranon process

on the proximal portion of the Ulna

38
Q

This is an anterior projection @ the proximal end of the Ulna

A

Coronoid process

39
Q

this is a large curved area that forms the elbow joint, its formation is due to the olecron & coronoid process recieving the trochlea of the humerus

A

Trochlear notch

40
Q

This is on the lateral side of the coronoid process and recieves the radius?

A

radial notch

41
Q

This is inferior to the coronoid process and the bachialis muscle attaches here

A

ulnar tuberosity

42
Q

Where is the head of the ulna located?

A

on the distal end of the ulna

Q

What is the attachment point for the ulnar collateral ligament to the wrist?

A

the styloid process

44
Q

What is the shape of the radial head and what does it articulate with/@?

A

Disc shaped @ proximal end

Articulates w/both capitulum of humerus & radial notch of Ulna

45
Q

the roughened area that is inferior to radial neck & serves as attachment for tendons of biceps brachii muscle

A

radial tuberosity

46
Q

This is on the distal end of the radius and proximal to the thumb, providing attachement for the brachioradialis muscle near the radial collateral ligament of wrist

A
