Questions and Answers

Which of the following accurately describes the formation of the elbow joint?

  • It is a ball-and-socket joint with high mobility.
  • It involves the humerus, radius, and ulna. (correct)
  • It is classified solely as a fibrous joint.
  • It is primarily composed of the scapula and humerus.
  • What role does the coronoid fossa play during extreme flexion of the elbow?

  • It prevents dislocation of the ulna.
  • It allows the head of the radius to fit into it.
  • It accommodates the coronoid process of the ulna. (correct)
  • It serves as a site for ligament attachment.
  • Which statement about the articular surfaces of the elbow joint is correct?

  • The capitulum and trochlea are located on the radius.
  • The trochlear notch of the ulna fits into the trochlea of the humerus. (correct)
  • The trochlear notch of the ulna articulates with the capitulum.

    Study Notes

    Elbow Joint

    • The elbow comprises multiple bones: humerus, radius, and ulna.
    • The elbow is a hinge joint, meaning that it allows for flexion and extension.

    Articular Surfaces

    • The capitulam and trochlea of the humerus articulate with the radius and ulna, respectively.
    • The coronoid fossa of the humerus accommodates the coronoid process of the ulna during extreme flexion.
    • The radial fossa, located above the capitulum, allows the radial head to fit into it during extreme flexion.
    • The head of the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus.
    • The trochlear notch of the ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus.
    • The elbow joint smoothly transitions into the superior radioulnar joint.
    • The humeroradial, humeroulnar, and superior radioulnar joints collectively form the cubital articulations.

    Ligaments

    • The capsular ligament encases the elbow joint.
    • The capsular ligament attaches to the lower end of the humerus superiorly, encompassing the capitulum, trochlea, radial fossa, coronoid fossa, and olecranon fossa.
    • Inferiorly, the capsular ligament attaches to the margin of the trochlear notch of the ulna medially, and the ulna laterally.
