1
The elbow joint includes these two articulations
A hinge joint and a plane joint
2
The hinge joint of the elbow is between the
Trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna
3
The plane joint of the elbow is between the
Capitulum of the humerus and a shallow depression (fovea) on the head of the radius
4
A thick band of dense connective tissue, located in the medial wall of the capsule
The ulnar collateral ligament
5
The posterior part of the ulnar collateral ligament is attached to the
Medial epicondyle of the humerus and to the olecranon process of the ulna
6
A fibrous band extending between the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and the anular ligament of the radius; strengthens the lateral wall of the joint capsule
Radial collateral ligament
7
The synovial membrane that forms the inner lining of the elbow capsule projects into the joint cavity between the radius and ulna and partially divides the joint into
Humerus-ulnar and humerus-radial portions
8
What type of movements are the only type that can occur at the elbow between the humerus and ulna
Hinge-type movements - flexion and extension
