KINE 3135: The Elbow and Radioulnar Joints

The video tutorial covers the anatomy and movements of the shoulder and elbow joints, focusing on the elbow and radio ulnar joints. It explains the bones involved, such as the humerus, ulna, and radius, and describes the anatomical position. The tutorial details the movements of the elbow joint, including flexion and extension, and the muscles responsible for these actions, such as the biceps, triceps, and brachialis. It also covers the radio ulnar joint's pronation and supination, highlighting the muscles involved, like the pronator teres and supinator.

Describe the anatomical position of the ulna and radius.

What is the function of the interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna?

What are the two main movements of the elbow joint?

What muscles are primarily involved in the flexion of the elbow?

Explain the role of the triceps in elbow extension.

What is the difference between the actions of the biceps brachii and the brachialis?

What are the main functions of the triceps muscle?

How does the position of the radius and ulna change during pronation?

Describe the role of the pronator teres and pronator quadratus in forearm movement.

How does the biceps brachii contribute to supination of the forearm?
