What if your elbow is an example of a hingle joint?

If your elbow were a hinge joint, it would primarily allow for bending and straightening movements in a single plane like a door hinge. However, the elbow joint is actually a more complex joint that allows for flexion, extension, as well as some rotation, making it a modified hinge joint known as a trochlear joint.

What is the term for the muscle that bends and flexes the elbow joint?

Flexion (same as bending) at the elbow joint (between the humerus and the radius and ulna) is mainly achieved by the Brachialis Muscle. This is not the answer most would expect as everyone knows the Biceps Brachii (Biceps of the arm) are what flexes this joint. In fact the biceps does both supination and flexion of the elbow because its insertion is on the radius. Only when the forearm is supinated, the biceps is able to assist the deeper and more powerful brachialis muscle with the flexion of the elbow.
