What is a type of joint?
One type is a ball and socket joint that connects your arm and shoulder
What type of joint connects the shoulder blade (scapula) and the collarbone ( clavicle)?
Gliding joint
What if your humerus is an example of what type of bone?
The humerus bone is the long bone in your upper arm. In simple terms, it goes from your shoulder down to your elbow. But heres the names for all the bones is conects to starting from the shoulder area:The humerus bone connects to two parts of the scapula bone (shoulder blade) which are the acromoin and the coracoid process. Near the elbow, the humerus bone connects with the olecranon process and the head of the radius.http://wiki.answers.com/The_humerus_bone_connects_with_what_other_bones#ixzz18mh8t0oH
What articulate with the ulna and scapula?
This is called as elbow joint. It is a synovial type of joint. It is actually a joint between humerus and ulna mainly. The radius takes part in the joint passively. This is hinge variety of joint.
What type of joint is your shoulders?
The shoulder joint is one of synovial (means a joint which is covered by a membrane named synovial) joints this means it allows movement freely unlike other joints such as suture lines of your skull. It's also called ball and socket type of joint means the head of humerus ( a bone of your arm) is inside a large cavity of your scapula ( a bone of your shoulder).
How does humerus help your body?
The function of the large head of the humerus is to allow for this great amount of movement. The humerus also provides various muscular attachment that provide for both extension and flexion of the arm. The distal end of the humerus articulates with the olecranon of the ulna and provides a very stable joint, which only allows for flexion of the arm and no extension.The humerus provides support and structure for the muscles of the upper arm.It is the connection between the scapula joint (shoulder joint) and the radius and ulna joint (elbow joint) and it supports the movement of your arm. It has insertion points for muscles, and it produces blood cells, and minerals like calcium and phosphorous from blood marrow.In terms of structure, the humerus serves as a connection between the scapula and the elbow, where it links to the two lower arm bones.The humerus bone of the upper arm (the arm in anatomy refers only to the top part of the upper limb i.e. between the elbow and the shoulder). Like all bones it gives shape to the body and acts as an attachment site for the muscles around it.Most of the muscles that actually move the humerus are within the region called the thorax or torso. The humerus joins the thorax at the glenohumeral joint (the shoulder joint) which is a synovial joint, or freely moving joint. It is actually designeda as a ball-and-socket type of joint. At this joint there are many movements that can occur: Flexion (the arm is brought up forwards so the elbow is at shoulder height), extenstion (the reverse of flexion, so the arm is pushed backwards behing the body), Abduction (the arm is lifted up and out from the side, like flapping it); adduction (the arm is lowered back into the side of the body, like unflapping it), if all four of these are combined you get circumduction (swinging your arms around in circles, forming a cone shape); rotation (when the shoulder is turned forwards or backwards).The muscles that are found on and around the humerus are mostly for acting on the forearm, i.e. at the elbow joint. This joint is a synnovial hinge joint and as such only two movements occur here: Flexion (bending the elbow) and Extension (straightening it).Their biceps brachi (or biceps) muscle is also found around the humerus but it is not really very involved in flexion of the elbow as many would believe. It is in fact used for supination of the forearm bone, the radialis, which means it turns the radius over the ulna. When they lie parallel next to each other, this is when the palm is facing forwards. Only when the forearm is fully supinated can the biceps act to flex the elbow joint. Otherwise the braachialis, a synergist to the biceps, does most of the work.The humerus is the bone of the arm. The arm in anatomy refers only to the top part of the upper limb between the elbow and the shoulder.The humerus allows you to reach, pull, lift, push and rotate objects.Humerus is the bone of arm , it connects the shoulder joint (scapula) to the elbow joint (ulna&radius) , it (with muscles) forms the main bulk of the upper arm . Humerus is a bone that is found in the arm and it help you to move your arm so you can pick stuff up.
What type of synovial joint is between the scapula and the humerus?
Your elbow joint (funny bone!)
What type of joint connects the shoulder blade (scapula) and the collarbone (clavicle)?
Its a question of Medical Anatomy (human anatomy), but not in the category of MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY. To the author: put your questions in the proper place at proper category! answer: Clavicula (clavicle in eng.) meets with Scapula at Shoulder joint
What type of joint connects the scapula and the clavicle?
gliding joint
What structural type is the shoulder joint?
ball and socket which is a type of synovial joint.
What type of joing is the shoulder?
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint.
Which type of joints in found in the hip bone?
feamer head and neck
