One feature that makes up the hinge at the elbow is the trochlea of humerus. The other feature is the trochlear notch of the ulna.

Where in your joints are your hinge joints?
In our joints our hinge joints are located between two bone our hinge joint is our elbow.
What type of joint found in the elbow?
It's a 'hinge' joint - it can only move in two directions (forward and back).
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.
What are skeletal joints?
Skeletal joints are where two bones come together, such as the knee is a hinge joint. Or the elbow is also a hinge joint.
The bone that form the point in the elbow is called what?
The elbow is a hinge joint and consists of three bones. The top section of the hinge is at the end of the upper arm bone called "The humerus". The bottom part part of the hinge is at the top of two forearm bones known as the "radius and the ulna". These two bones run down the forearm basically parallel to each other. Upon bending the elbow the combination and positioning of these three bones form not only a hinge joint that also allows for radial movement of the fore arm.The elbow is a hinge joint.The elbow joint is a hinge joint.Yes. A hinge joint is a joint that allows for angular movement such as in the elbow, in the knee, or between the phalanges of the fingers.Yes because it only bends in one direction
What is a hinge in the skeletal system?
There may be two answers to the question you have asked: Sometimes a hinge joint is referred to as a "hinge bone". These are referencing joints in the body that work like hinges, for example, the elbow, knuckle, knee, and toe. Hinge joints are those which can only move in one axis. Or there is a implantable technological device called a "hinged bone plate" that is used in spinal surgery to stabilize two vertebrae to each other as in a "spinal fusion" but which allows for more movement with the ability of flexion of the hinged pieces attached one end to one vertebrae and the other end to the adjacent vertebrae with a hinge in between. See related links for examples and additional details.
How are the elbow joint of a cow and a human elbow joint similar?
Both are mammals. So you have humerus above and ulna below, which take part in elbow joint. Both the cow and human have hinge type of joint with two collateral ligaments to support the joint. Only difference is that you have 180 degree rotation of humerus in human and not so in case of cow.
Does the knee have the same kind of joint as the elbow?
the elbow is a hinge joint.. the knee is a hinge joint and it rotates. i m just reaching in my own mind.. so i have not looked anything up to answer this.. i do know the knee has incrediable shock absorbers called menicus in both the top and bottom of the joint.. these little disks of shock absorbing fluid take a lot more pressure than an elbow could provide.. that's my observations of those two joints..
Why is it called the elbow on a basketball court?
because the two joints of the lines make an elbow
What are all of the examples of a hinge joint?
The most typical hinge joints is the elbow, which attaches the Humerus to the Radius and Ulna.Some say the interphalangeal joints between the bones in your fingers are hinge joints; others call them condyloid jointsHinge joints that are a bit atypical, as they allow some limited rotation include the:knee, or tibiofemoral joint. This is the largest hinge joint. The patellofemoral joint, between the kneecap and thighbone, is not a hinge joint.. The knee is sometimes considered a modified hinge joint or a pivotal hinge joint.The Ankle is not a good example, its a saddle joint.The jaw (the temperomandibular joint) is sometimes called a hinge joint, but it has a gliding component as well and has more motion than a typical hinge joint.Hinge joints are synovial joints that only move on one plane (ex you can bring your arm up at your elbow but you can bend it sideways without rotating your shoulder.Generally, a hinge joint is found between two bones that move in two opposite directions (flexion and extension), as opposed to in many directions. For comparison, the hip joint and shoulder are not hinge joints, since they move the adjoining limb in several directions.
What forms the elbow joint?
The elbow is a hinge joint and consists of three bones. The top section of the hinge is at the end of the upper arm bone called "The humerus". The bottom part part of the hinge is at the top of two forearm bones known as the "radius and the ulna". These two bones run down the forearm basically parallel to each other.

What type of joint is hinge?
these articulations are responsible for movement in all joints that need extension and flextion. examples: elbows and knees They can move in one angle, back and forth. The elbow joint is an example, it does flexion and extension. It swings back and forth</zzz> Hinge joints, such as the elbows or knees allow for motion in one plane. They are not easily broken. Except for sliding doors, most doors are hinge doors. The hinges open and close the door. <a class="h2heading h3" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" name="ANS2:">ANS2:</a> Body hinge joints connect long bones and allow movement. Two hinge joints that you should be familiar with are the elbow and knee. All of your fingers are connected by hinge joints, the hinge bone is mostly the knee bone and helps you move and jump around.
