  • What happens at the elbow joint? The humerus articulates with the ulna and the radius at the capitulum and trochlea respectively --> Hinge joint (uni axial - flexion and extension)
  • Which parts does the radius consist of? - head  - Neck - radial tuberosity  - body/shaft - ulnar notch (inferior articulation with the ulna) - styloid process 
  • Which parts does the ulna consist of? - Olecranon process  - Trochlear notch  - radial notch - coronoid process  - body/shaft - head of ulna  - styloid process of ulna 
  • Pronation and supination 1. Supination: hand in anatomical position - ulna and radius parallel with each other  2. Pronation: hand is turne around - radius lies diagonally across the ulna  --> occurs at the joint between radius and ulna (radio-ulnar joint)
