There is no such thing as an elbow bone, because the elbow is a joint. The forearm has the Ulna and the Radius bones, and there is no elbow bone.

Do radium and radius have the same meaning?
Radium and radius do not mean the same thing. Radium is an element in group 2. It is radioactive and was discovered by the Curies. Radius is either the distance from the centre of a circle to its circumference, or a bone in the forearm.
Is The wrist distal to the forearm?
No, the fingernail is distal to the elbow. Imagine a body standing with arms and legs spread out, like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To determine if a part is distal or proximal to another part, look to see if it is closer or farther from the center of the body relative to the body part you are comparing it to. The fingernail is farther from the center of the body than the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. In contrast the shoulder is closer to the center of the body, so it is proximal to the elbow. Using the same reasoning, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. When you're comfortable with those distinctions, you can start thinking about other terms like ventral, dorsal, caudal, saggital, coronal, etc.
Is cubital and antecubital fossa the same?
Yes. Both refer to the anterior elbow. As far as I can gather, ante- is sometimes added to signify the antebrachium which is another name for the forearm.
What part of the body is the same length as the foot?
The well known myth is: the inside of your forearm... from your wrist line to the inside of your elbow. However this is not a universal rule, I know this as my foot is bigger.
Which is bigger radius or ulna?
they are the two bones that make up the lower armthe ulna is on the same side of the arm as the pinky finger.The radius is the bone of the forearm that extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist. The radius is situated on the lateral side of the ulna, which exceeds it in length and size.
What causes pain in left elbow down my arm to hand numbness?
Sounds like a serious problem. You should have that checked out by a doctor or a chiropractor. ************************************************************* This is a fairly common condition called ulnar neuritis or draftsman's elbow...usually caused by leaning forearm on edge of desk, table etc..for long periods of time. It can also be caused from repetitive elbow use and or arthritic build up at the joint where the ulnar nerve passes through. The person usually has numbness down his elbow (same area if you ever have hit your funny bone) and in his ring and or little finger that may be relieved by repositioning.
Which is bigger 10 cubits or 5 spans?
They are approximately the same, depending on how long your forearm is. A cubit is the length of your forearm from your elbow to your fingertip, about 18 inches or 44 cm. A span is the length from your thumb to your little finger with your fingers spread out as far as possible, about 9 inches or 22 cm.
What is the medical term meaning produced in bone marrow?
Myelogenous is the medical term meaning produced in bone marrow. Myeloid means the same thing.
What is the term for the muscle that bends and flexes the elbow joint?
Flexion (same as bending) at the elbow joint (between the humerus and the radius and ulna) is mainly achieved by the Brachialis Muscle. This is not the answer most would expect as everyone knows the Biceps Brachii (Biceps of the arm) are what flexes this joint. In fact the biceps does both supination and flexion of the elbow because its insertion is on the radius. Only when the forearm is supinated, the biceps is able to assist the deeper and more powerful brachialis muscle with the flexion of the elbow.
What holds the elbow joint together?
If you are talking about a prosthetic elbow joint the it is led into the bone with a cement or a gauze through which bone Will eventually grow. the joint itself. is fitted with a lose pin hinge where the pin is held in place with a screw. Aside from that the same tissue as always aside from cartilage surrounds the joint.
