Elbow joint (26 cards)
Elbow joint:
Hinge joint and Pivot joint
Movements of the Hinge joint are
Flexion and extension
Movements of the Pivot joint are
Pronation ans supination
Trochlear and Trochlear notch articulate together
True
Trochlear notch locates between
Olecranon process (you put this part on the table) and Coronoid process (inside of the elbow)
Trochlear and Trochlear notch create
An elbow joint
Hinge joint produce only sagittle plane movements
True
Capitulum articulates with a Radial head
True
Hinge joint consists of…
Trochlear and Trochlear notch create
Capitulum and Radial head
Radial head articulates on the radial notch on the ulna
True
Ulnar notch articulates on the Ulnar notch on the Radius
True
Pivot joint consists of
Radial head - Ulna
Ulnar head - Radius
Supination
Radius crosses over the Ulnar
Pronation
The two bones are parallel to each other
Lateral (Radial) collateral legament
Varus force
Medial (Ulnar) collateral legament
Valgus force
Annular ligament
It helps keep the redial head in tact when it pro/supination
Anterior muscles
Biceps brachii muscle
Coracobrachialis muscle
Brachialis muscle
Anterior muscles have in common
They flex the elbow
They innervates by the musclocutaneous nerve C6
Posterior muscle
Tricens brachii muscle
Tricens brachii muscle
It extends the elbow
it innervates by the Radial nerve C7
Biceps brachii muscle actions:
Elbow flexion
Supination of the forearm
Coracobrachialis muscle action
It helps adduct the humorous at the glenohumeral joint and flex it
Brachialis muscle action:
True flection of the elbow
