week 2 sem 2 Flashcards
elbow joint classification
synoival, uniaxial, hinge
made up of 2 articulations: humeroradial, humeroulnar
elbow joint atricular surfaces
- humeroradial
- capitulum of humerus
- head of radius - humeroulnar articulation
- trochlear of the humerus
- trochlear notch of the ulnar
the proximal radioulnar joint classification
synovial, uniaxial, pivot
the proximal radioulnar jointarticular surfaces
head of radius
radial notch of ulnar
do the elbow and radioulnar joint share an articular capsule
yes
thickest and strongest on side
do the elbow and radioulnar joint share an synovial membrane
yes
what do ectra synoival fat pads
occupys fossa when bony projections are not sitting in them
annular ligamnet- proximal radioulnar joint
ring shaped
attaches anterior and posterior margins of the radial notich of the ulnar & encirles the head of the radius to hold it in place
allows for pronation and supernation of the forerarm
funnel shaped which helps to prevent inferior disloacation of the radial head
ulnar (medial) collateral ligament
from medial epicondyle of humerus to coronoid process and olecranon of ulna
made of 3 bands
PREVENT abduction of the forearm
radial (lateral) collateral ligament
from lateral epicondyle of humerus to annular ligament
PREVENT adduction
middle radioulnar joint classification
fibrous, syndesmosis
interrosesous membrane bw ulnar and radius
ribers run inferiorly from the radius to the ulna
distal radioulnar joint classification
synovial, uniaxial, pivot
distal radioulnar joint articular surface
head of ulna and ulna notch of radius
functions of interousseous membrane
- transmitts forces from radius to ulna to humerus to perctoral girdal to axial of skeleton
- site of muscle attachment
- act as a piviot point for pronation and supernstion (rotation)
articular disc of the radioulnar joint
from ulnar notch of the radius to styloid process of ulna
- main uniting structure, seperaes ulnar from the wrist joint
