What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the bone in the upper arm?
The humerus. Edit: Its the humerus its easy to remember because of the phrase "funny bone" funny=humorous=humerus
Which joint do the humerus and ulna meet?
Elbow joint.
What joint is formed by the humerus?
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 are the two bones that form the shoulder joint called?
The two bones that form the shoulder joint are the humerus and the scapula. The humerus is the long bone of the upper arm, while the scapula, commonly known as the shoulder blade, provides a socket for the humerus to articulate with, forming the glenohumeral joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.
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.
Name the depression on the ulna into which the humerus inserts?
The depression on the ulna into which the humerus inserts is called the trochlear notch. This forms the hinge joint known as the elbow joint.
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 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.
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.
What is the name of the fossa that articulates with the humerus?
The fossa that articulates with the humerus is called the glenoid fossa, located on the scapula bone. This fossa forms the shoulder joint, known as the glenohumeral joint, which allows for a wide range of motion of the arm.
