The primary flexor of the elbow is the biceps brachii, which originates from the scapula and attaches to the radial tuberosity on the radius, not directly on the humerus. However, the brachialis, another key flexor, originates from the anterior surface of the humerus, specifically the distal half of the shaft. It inserts onto the ulnar tuberosity and coronoid process of the ulna, contributing significantly to elbow flexion.
What else can I help you with?
Name a muscle that is a synergistic to the biceps brachii during elbow flexing?
Brachialis - attaches from the anterior proximal humerus to the coronoid process of the ulna - strong flexor of the elbowBrachioradialis - attaches from the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus to the distal styloid of the radius - weak flexor of the elbow
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.
The flexor and pronator muscles originate on the?
humerus
What term describes a muscle that bends joints such as the elbow?
Flexor.
Where is the humerus in relationship to the elbow?
Above it (it's under the biceps).The humerus is proximal to the elbow.
Which joint do the humerus and ulna meet?
Elbow joint.
Is tricepes flexor?
Triceps muscle is not a flexor. Triceps is an extensor of elbow joint. Biceps muscle is flexor.
What arm bone goes from the elbow to the shoulder?
The humerus bone. =)
How would you put flexor in a sentence?
The flexor muscle in my left elbow is stiff.
The olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form?
the olecranon process articulates with the humerus to form the elbow.
What comprises the hinge joint of the elbow?
At the elbow, the ulna articulates with the humerus.
Where transcondylar distal humerus?
The distal humerus is the end of the humerus nearest the elbow. Transcondylar means across the condyles, or the knobs at the end of the humerus.
