What are the three main bone of the arms?

What two bones articulate with the distal humerus?

The ulna and the radius articulate with the distal humerus at the elbow joint. The ulna forms the primary articulation, while the head of the radius articulates with a small depression on the side of the ulna known as the radial notch.


What is the trochlear notch that articulates with the humerus?

The trochlear notch is a depression on the proximal end of the ulna bone that articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. This forms the hinge joint of the elbow, allowing for flexion and extension of the forearm.

What is the name of all the bones in your elbow?

The elbow is not in and of itself a bone. It is the joining of the humerus, ulna, and radius-most specifially, the humerus and ulna. The bony point that we think of as the elbow is part of the ulna (one of the forearm bones). It is called the olecranon process. The smaller bumps on the sides are parts of the humerus (upper arm bone). They are called epicondyles.


Which bone lies superior to the ulna?

What bone sits in the olecranon fossa?

The olecranon fossa is a depression in the humerus bone of the upper arm, and it is specifically designed to accommodate the olecranon process of the ulna bone. The olecranon is a prominent bony projection at the end of the ulna that forms the bony part of the elbow.


What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?

Bone that contains the olecranon fossa?

The bone that contains the olecranon fossa is the humerus, which is located in the upper arm. The olecranon fossa is a depression on the posterior side of the humerus that accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the arm is extended.
