Glenoid Cavity of the scapula
27
What does the distal end of the humerus articulate with?
Ulnar and Radial bones
28
What is the difference between the anatomical neck and the surgical neck of the Humerus?
Anatomical neck exists b/w the Humeral head and tubercles Surgical neck is b/w the proximal end of the humerus and shaft (most common fx site)
29
What 3 muscles attach to the Greater Humeral Tubercle?
Supraspinatus M. Infraspinatous M. Teres Minor M.
30
Name the humeral attachment point for the Subscapularis M.
Lesser Humeral Tubercle
31
What is the humeral feature that transmits the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii M. and provides attachment for the Pectoralis Major M., Teres Major M., and Latissimus Dorsi M.?
Intertubercular Groove
32
What are the two main features of the body of the humerus?
Deltoid tuberosity | Groove for the Radial N.
33
The Groove for Radial N. transmits what 2 things?
Radial N. | Deep Brachial A.
34
Which humeral epicondyle provides an origin for several Antebrachial Extensors
Lateral Humeral Epicondyle
35
Which humeral epicondyle provides an origin for several Antebrachial Flexors
Medial Humeral Epicondyle
36
Which humeral epicondyle houses the Groove for the Ulnar N.?
Medial Humeral Epicondyle
37
What are the two articular surfaces of the Humeral Condyle?
Trochlea | Capitulum
38
What is the humeral surface that articulates with the Ulna?
Trochlea
39
What is the humeral surface that articulates with the Radius?
Capitulum
40
Name the fossas of the humerus
Radial Fossa Coronoid Fossa Olecranon Fossa
41
The Radial Fossa of the Humerus accomodates the Radial head when the Antebrachium is flexed or extended?
Flexed
42
The Coronoid Fossa accommodates the Coronoid Process of the ulna when the Antebrachium is flexed or extended?
Flexed
43
The Olecranon Fossa accommodates the Olecranon of the Ulna when the Antebrachium is flexed or extended?
Extended, because the Olecranon fossa is posterior while the coronoid and radial fossas are anterior
44
What is the difference between Coronoid Process and the Corocoid process?
The Coronoid process is part of the Ulna The Corocoid process is part of the scapula (There's an N in CoroNoid and UlNa) (There's a C in CoroCoid and SCapula or Crow's beak)
45
The Ulnar Tuberosity serves as an attachment point for what muscle?
Brachialis M.

What 2 processes of the Ulna form the Trochlear notch?
Olecranon process | Coronoid process
47
What ulnar process contains the Radial notch?
Coronoid process

49
What end of the Ulna is the Ulnar Styloid Process located on?
Distal end
50
What does the proximal end of the Radius articulate with?
Humerus | Ulna
51
What does the distal end of the Radius articulate with?
Ulna | Proximal row of carpal bones
