Name a muscle that is a synergistic to the biceps brachii during elbow flexing?
Brachialis - attaches from the anterior proximal humerus to the coronoid process of the ulna - strong flexor of the elbowBrachioradialis - attaches from the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus to the distal styloid of the radius - weak flexor of the elbow
What joint is formed by the humerus?
The distal (meaning furthest from the body) aspect of the humerus that forms the elbow is called the trochlea, which literally means pulley.The distal & medial aspect of the humerus in the region of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle, but this is more of a site for tendon attachment for flexor muscles. The medial epicondyle is not a part of the actual elbow joint.
The flexor and pronator muscles originate on the?
humerus
What term describes a muscle that bends joints such as the elbow?
Flexor.
Where is the humerus in relationship to the elbow?
Above it (it's under the biceps).The humerus is proximal to the elbow.
What arm bone goes from the elbow to the shoulder?
The humerus bone. =)
Is tricepes flexor?
Triceps muscle is not a flexor. Triceps is an extensor of elbow joint. Biceps muscle is flexor.
How would you put flexor in a sentence?
The flexor muscle in my left elbow is stiff.
Where in your body is humerus found?
The humerus is the arm bone between the shoulder and the elbow.
What comprises the hinge joint of the elbow?
At the elbow, the ulna articulates with the humerus.
Where transcondylar distal humerus?
The distal humerus is the end of the humerus nearest the elbow. Transcondylar means across the condyles, or the knobs at the end of the humerus.
What are the two types of joints at the ends of the humerus?
The joint where the humerus meets the shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The joint where the humerus meets the ulna (the elbow) is a hinge joint.
