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.

What is the structural classification for glenohumerAL joint?
The glenohumeral joint is a ball-and socket joint that is formed between two bones, the humerus and the scapula. The humerus head, acting as the ball, fits into the end of the scapula known as the glenoid, the socket.
What are the two types of joints at the ends of the humerus?
The two types of joints at the ends of the humerus are the elbow joint, which is a hinge joint that allows flexion and extension, and the shoulder joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint that allows a wide range of motion in multiple directions.
What bone articulates with the clavicle and the humerus at the shoulder?
The Scapula articulates with the humerus and clavicle to make the shoulder socket.
Is the ulna and humerous a ball and soccket joint?
No, the ulna and humerus do not form a ball and socket joint. The humerus articulates with the ulna at the elbow joint, which is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension. The humerus also forms a ball and socket joint with the scapula at the shoulder.
Why is the shoulder joint also called the glenohumeral joint?
The shoulder joint is called the glenohumeral joint because it is formed by the articulation of the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) with the glenoid cavity of the scapula (shoulder blade). Gleno- refers to the glenoid cavity, which is part of the scapula, and humeral refers to the humerus bone.

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.
Which joint do the humerus and ulna meet?
Elbow joint.

What type of joint is humeroulnar?
The humeroulnar joint is a hinge joint, allowing for flexion and extension movements of the elbow. It is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna.
Is humerus a gliding joint?
No, the humerus is a bone in the upper arm and forms part of the shoulder and elbow joints. It is not a joint itself but rather connects to other bones to form movable joints.
Why is the shoulder joint also called the glenohumeral joint?
The shoulder joint is called the glenohumeral joint because it is formed by the articulation of the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) with the glenoid cavity of the scapula (shoulder blade). Gleno- refers to the glenoid cavity, which is part of the scapula, and humeral refers to the humerus bone.
Part of the elbow is formed by the?
Part of the elbow is formed by the humerus bone from the upper arm and the ulna and radius bones from the forearm. These bones come together to create the joint that allows for flexion and extension of the arm.
The humerus articulates with what bone marking of the scapula?
marking or making? Humerus bone makes joint with Clavicula and scapula That is the shoulder joint
The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with what of the humerus?
The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the head of the humerus, forming the glenohumeral joint, also known as the shoulder joint. This articulation allows for the wide range of motion seen in the shoulder joint.
