Capitulum is a kind of inflorescence found mostly in the family Asteraceae. It is characterized by the presence of two types of florets: ray florets and disc florets. It looks like a single large flower but is actually an inflorescence.
Example: Sunflower.
The trochlea lies on the medial side of the humerus, while the capitulum is located on the lateral side of the distal humerus. These two structures, along with the trochlear notch of the ulna, form the hinge joint of the elbow.
the distal end of the humerus has two smooth condyles. the lateral one, called the CAPITULUM is shaped somewhat like a wide tire and articulates with the radius. the medial one, called the TROCHLEA is pulleylike and articulates with the ulna.
You can determine the side of the body a humerus bone belongs to by looking at certain features such as the location of the head and the orientation of the trochlea and capitulum. The head of the humerus should be facing medially and the trochlea should face posteriorly to help identify the left or right side.
The humerus articulates with the radius and ulna at the elbow joint. The trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna, forming a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension. The capitulum of the humerus articulates with the head of the radius, allowing for rotation of the forearm.
Elbow joint consists of three joints:Joint between trochlea of Humerus and Ulna is hinge joint (ginglymus joint).Joint between capitulum of humerus and head of radius is also a hinge joint.Joint between Upper ends of radius and ulna is pivot joint.
Capitulum is my favorite word.
the radius
Capitulum
The trochlea lies on the medial side of the humerus, while the capitulum is located on the lateral side of the distal humerus. These two structures, along with the trochlear notch of the ulna, form the hinge joint of the elbow.
The rounded knob on the humerus is called the capitulum. It is located on the lateral aspect of the humerus and articulates with the head of the radius to form the radiocapitellar joint, which allows for the bending and rotation of the elbow.
The phylogeny of capitulum inflorescence has evolved as a way to increase reproductive success in plants. This unique inflorescence structure allows for efficient pollination by attracting specific pollinators. Additionally, the compact shape of the capitulum helps in maximizing seed production by reducing wastage of resources.
The capitulum. Or you mean the head. Head
Capitulum articulates with the head of radius
The humerus contains both the greater and lesser tubercles, as well as the trochlea and capitulum. The greater tubercle is located laterally, while the lesser tubercle is found anteriorly on the proximal end of the humerus. The trochlea and capitulum are located at the distal end of the humerus, forming part of the elbow joint.
capitulum and trochlea. Together they make up the condyle.
the distal end of the humerus has two smooth condyles. the lateral one, called the CAPITULUM is shaped somewhat like a wide tire and articulates with the radius. the medial one, called the TROCHLEA is pulleylike and articulates with the ulna.
Because it has all the flowers bunched in the head or capitulum
