What joint does the elbow form?

The elbow is an uniaxial joint. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.

What joint is found between the humerus and the ulna?

A strong, complex ligament called the inter- (between) -osseous (bones) ligament, plus some blood vessels and nerves. You can find these things in the center of the forearm, between the two bones. Strong ligaments also connect the radius and ulna down by the wrist and up by the elbow.

What is uniaxial movement?

Uniaxial movement refers to motion that occurs in only one direction or along a single axis. In the context of biology or anatomy, uniaxial movement can refer to the motion of a joint that allows movement in only one plane or direction, such as flexion and extension at the elbow joint. This is in contrast to biaxial or multiaxial movement, which involve motion in multiple planes or around multiple axes.
