Funny bone
What else can I help you with?
Name the origin of the primary muscle use in a chin up?
olecranon process of ulna
What bones fits into the olecranon fossa?
the ulna fits into the olacranon fossa, specifically the olecranon process.
The olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form?
the olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form the elbow.
When the arm is straight where is the olecranon process?
The olecranon process is the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow and is part of the ulna bone. When the arm is straight, the olecranon process is directly at the back of the elbow joint, providing stability and acting as a lever for movements like extension.
What is the common name for the olecranon?
The common name for the olecranon is the elbow.
What bone makes the posterior point of the elbow and what is the name of that projection?
The bone that makes the posterior point of the elbow is the ulna. The projection at the posterior point of the elbow is called the olecranon process.
What muscle originates on scapula and proximal humerus and inserts on olecranon process?
The triceps originates on the scapula and proximal humerus and inserts on the olecranon process. The muscles has three heads (hence its name) so it has multiple origins.
What is the function of the olecranon fossa?
The olecranon fossa is a depression located at the distal end of the humerus bone. Its function is to accommodate and articulate with the olecranon process of the ulna during elbow extension, allowing for smooth movement and stability in the joint.
What the insertion of the triceps?
Olecranon process of the ulna
Bone that contains the olecranon fossa?
The bone that contains the olecranon fossa is the humerus, which is located in the upper arm. The olecranon fossa is a depression on the posterior side of the humerus that accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the arm is extended.
When the arm is straight which structure accepts the olecranon?
When the arm is straight, the olecranon process of the ulna fits into the olecranon fossa of the humerus, forming part of the elbow joint. This configuration allows for the extension and flexion of the arm.
Where is the olecranon fossa located?
The olecranon fossa is located on the posterior aspect of the humerus bone in the elbow joint. It is a depression that accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow is fully extended.
