The elbow joint is a hinge joint.
The cubital joint is an example of a hinge joint. This type of joint allows movement in one plane, like bending and straightening, similar to how the elbow functions.
Yes, bending the elbow is an example of flexion. Flexion refers to the movement that decreases the angle between two body parts, such as bending the elbow to bring the forearm closer to the upper arm.
Yes, the elbow joint is an example of a first-class lever, where the effort force (muscle contraction) and load (resistance) are on opposite sides of the fulcrum (joint). When you bend your elbow to lift an object, the effort force from your bicep muscle overcomes the resistance of the load, such as a weight you are lifting.
