Brachioradialis: Flexes the elbow when the forearm is in the ______ between pronation and supination.

Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus: Extends and ______ the wrist.

Extensor Digitorum: Extends the fingers at the ______, proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints.

The elbow joint is a synovial joint, specifically a ______ joint.

The median cubital vein is a superficial vein that forms as a result of the connection between the cephalic vein and the ______ vein in the cubital fossa.

The median cubital vein courses across the ______ fossa, which is the region in front of the elbow joint.

The median cubital vein typically terminates by joining the basilic vein and the ______ vein in the cubital fossa.

The ______ nerve primarily supplies the muscles on the lateral side of the forearm.

The ______ nerve primarily supplies the muscles on the medial side of the forearm.

The Flexor Digitorum Superficialis muscle flexes the middle phalanges of the fingers at the ______ interphalangeal (PIP) joints.

The Flexor Digitorum Profundus muscle flexes the distal phalanges of the fingers at the ______ interphalangeal (DIP) joints.

The Flexor Carpi Radialis muscle flexes and ______ the wrist.

The cephalic vein typically ______ from the dorsal venous network of the hand.

The cephalic vein ascends along the ______ aspect of the forearm.

The cephalic vein often traverses the ______ groove.

The cephalic vein ______ into the axillary vein.

The basilic vein typically ______ from the dorsal venous network of the hand or the dorsal venous arch.

The basilic vein ascends along the ______ aspect of the forearm.

The basilic vein ______ with the brachial vein or the venae comitantes of the brachial artery to form the axillary vein.

The basilic vein may receive ______ along its course, such as the median cubital vein.

Fibrocartilage provides both strength and ______.

Fibrocartilage acts as a ______ absorber and resists compression.

Fibrocartilage is found in the ______ discs.

Fibrocartilage is found in the ______ of the knee joint.

Hyaline Cartilage has a ______, homogeneous tissue with evenly dispersed chondrocytes.

Elastic Cartilage has a more ______ structure due to the prominent elastic fibers.

Fibrocartilage has thick ______ bundles, interspersed chondrocytes, and no distinct perichondrium.

Fibrocartilage exhibits characteristics of both dense ______ tissue and cartilage.

The trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ______.

The capitulum of the humerus articulates with the head of the ______.

The radial notch of the ulna articulates with the head of the ______, forming the proximal radioulnar joint.

Medial (Ulnar) Collateral Ligament: This ligament connects the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the coronoid process and olecranon of the ______, providing stability against valgus (lateral) forces.

Lateral (Radial) Collateral Ligament: This ligament connects the lateral epicondyle of the humerus to the annular ligament and lateral ______r collateral ligament, providing stability against varus (medial) forces.

Annular Ligament: This ligament surrounds the head of the ______, securing it in place against the radial notch of the ulna.

Flexion: Bending the fore______ toward the upper ______, reducing the angle between the two.

Extension: Straightening the fore______ away from the upper ______, increasing the angle between the two.
