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 olecranon process of the ulna fits into the olecranon groove and fossa in the humerus. The radial head also articulates with the capitellum of the humerus and with the proximal ulna to allow for pronation and supination of the forearm.

The joint between the forearm bones and the wrist is the radiocarpal joint (between the radius and three proximal carpal bones). It is an ellipsoidal articulation that allows flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, and circumduction.
it is called the united leeds.
The forearm connect directly to the wrist which is itself a joint; there is no intermediary joint.

Where the "wenis" is, at the back of the elbow
The elbow is a hinge joint. The largest hinge joint is in the knee.
The elbow is a hinge joint. When you think about it, you can only bend your elbow back and forth. Think about your wrist, that's a gliding joint. It moves in a completely different way than your elbow.
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.

Yes your elbow is a hinge joint.
The hinge joint is located at the elbow
The joint between the shoulder and the wrist is the elbow.
The elbow is a hinge joint. The largest hinge joint is in the knee.
The shoulder is called the glenohumeral joint, and the wrist is the radiocarpal joint but the elbow is pretty much just called the elbow.
