What is the name of the lateral condyle on the humerus?

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.


How do you find what side of the body a humerus bone belongs to?

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.


Is the medial epicondyle adjacent to trochlea?

The medial epicondyle (on the humerus) is located closet to the body when in the anatomical position and the trochlea (on the humerus) is located slightly laterally and inferior to the medial epicondyle.


What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?

To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)


How does the humerus articulate with the radius and ulna?

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.

Which bone contains the greater and lesser tubercles and the trochlea and capitulum?

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.

On what two structures does the radial head pivot?

What is a spool-shaped process on distal end of the humerus that is found medial to the capitulum and articulates with the ulna?

The trochlea is the spool-shaped process of the humerus that articulates with the ulna. The ulna's trochlear notch fits onto the trochlea for stability.

The fulcrum in this case would be your elbow joints. more specifically the trochlea and capitulum on the humerus which articulate with the radius and ulna
