Which of the following statements is true about the interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna? a) it provides attachment for the biceps brachii muscle b) It is located proximal to the radial tuberosity c) It helps transmit forces from the radius to the ulna during weight-bearing d) It is found only in the distal third of the forearm e) It is part of the elbow joint capsule
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the identification of the true statement regarding the interosseous membrane that exists between the radius and ulna bones. It is focused on anatomical knowledge concerning the function and characteristics of this membrane.
Answer
It helps transmit forces from the radius to the ulna during weight-bearing.
The interosseous membrane helps transmit forces from the radius to the ulna during weight-bearing.
Answer for screen readers
The interosseous membrane helps transmit forces from the radius to the ulna during weight-bearing.
More Information
The interosseous membrane is crucial in distributing loads and transmitting forces between the radius and ulna, which is particularly important during activities involving the forearm.
