What else can I help you with?
Where does the trochlea lie in comparison to the capitulum?
The trochlea lies on the medial side of the humerus, while the capitulum is located on the lateral side of the distal humerus. These two structures, along with the trochlear notch of the ulna, form the hinge joint of the elbow.
Which bone contains the greater and lesser tubercles and the trochlea and capitulum?
The humerus contains both the greater and lesser tubercles, as well as the trochlea and capitulum. The greater tubercle is located laterally, while the lesser tubercle is found anteriorly on the proximal end of the humerus. The trochlea and capitulum are located at the distal end of the humerus, forming part of the elbow joint.
What is the name of the lateral condyle on the humerus?
the distal end of the humerus has two smooth condyles. the lateral one, called the CAPITULUM is shaped somewhat like a wide tire and articulates with the radius. the medial one, called the TROCHLEA is pulleylike and articulates with the ulna.
On what two structures does the radial head pivot?
capitulum and trochlea. Together they make up the condyle.
What is a spool-shaped process on distal end of the humerus that is found medial to the capitulum and articulates with the ulna?
The trochlea is the spool-shaped process of the humerus that articulates with the ulna. The ulna's trochlear notch fits onto the trochlea for stability.
What is a fulcrum for a biceps curl?
The fulcrum in this case would be your elbow joints. more specifically the trochlea and capitulum on the humerus which articulate with the radius and ulna
Is the medial epicondyle adjacent to trochlea?
The medial epicondyle (on the humerus) is located closet to the body when in the anatomical position and the trochlea (on the humerus) is located slightly laterally and inferior to the medial epicondyle.
How do you find what side of the body a humerus bone belongs to?
You can determine the side of the body a humerus bone belongs to by looking at certain features such as the location of the head and the orientation of the trochlea and capitulum. The head of the humerus should be facing medially and the trochlea should face posteriorly to help identify the left or right side.
How can you use capitulum in a sentence?
Capitulum is my favorite word.
Rounded knob on the humerus?
The rounded knob on the humerus is called the capitulum. It is located on the lateral aspect of the humerus and articulates with the head of the radius to form the radiocapitellar joint, which allows for the bending and rotation of the elbow.
What does the capitulum articulate with?
the radius
What does the trochlea articulate with?
olecranon
