Answer 24

*False** (The ulnar nerve does not pass through the cubital fossa.)

Question 25

The cubital fossa contains the radial, ulnar, and median nerves.

Answer 25

**False** (It contains the median nerve and brachial artery, but not the ulnar or radial nerves.)

Question 26

The elbow joint is a hinge joint that allows flexion and extension.

Answer 26

true

Question 27

The elbow joint is capable of abduction and adduction.

Answer 27

*False** (The elbow joint is limited to flexion, extension, supination, and pronation.)

Answer 31

true

Question 32

The elbow joint is a ball-and-socket joint.

Answer 32

*False** (The elbow joint is a hinge joint.)

Question 33

The biceps brachii is the primary muscle responsible for elbow extension.

Answer 33

**False** (The biceps brachii is a primary muscle for elbow flexion. The triceps brachii is responsible for elbow extension.)

Question 34

. The elbow joint includes the proximal radioulnar joint, which allows for pronation and supination of the forearm.

Answer 34

true

Question 35

The median nerve provides significant innervation to the muscles of the elbow joint.

Answer 35
