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.

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.


The olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form?

the olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form the elbow.


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.


What is the distal medial process of the humerus?

The trochlea is the medial process of the humerus. The humerus articulates with the ulna at the trochlea.


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)


What articulates with the manubrium?

With the clavicals (as well as) The coastal cartilage of the first and second ribs and the body of the sternum.


The coronoid process articulates with what depression on the distal end of the humerus?

The depression in the scapula can be either one of four different structures; the supraspinatus fossa, the infraspinatus fossa, the subscapular fossa, or the glenoid fossa. The problem is that none of these articulate with the ulna. The bone you are probably looking for is the humerus, and it articulates with the last one I mentioned, the glenoid fossa.


What does the olecranon fossa articulate with?

The olecranon fossa of the humerus articulates with the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow is extended. This forms the back part of the elbow joint.


Where is the glenoid cavity located?

no, the glenoid cavity is not in the clavicle. it is in the scapula, next to the acromion process and the coracoid process, which provide stability. the glenoid cavity articulates with the head of the humerus as a ball-and-socket joint.


Which bones articulates with the ulna?

At the distal end: the carpels in the hand at the head of the ulna and the radius at the ulna notch of radius. At the proximal end: the trochlea of the humerus at the trochlear notch and coronoid process of the ulna and the head of the radius at the radial notch of the ulna.


What is the lateral end of the clavicle?

The lateral end of the clavicle is the one closest to the arm and farthest from the breastbone. It articulates with the acromion process of the scapula.


What are markings include glenoid cavity and acromion?

The glenoid cavity is a shallow depression on the scapula where the head of the humerus articulates to form the shoulder joint. The acromion is a bony process of the scapula that forms the point of the shoulder and articulates with the clavicle to stabilize the shoulder joint.
