true

the ulna is much larger proximally than the radius

true

tightening a screw with a screwdriver using the right hand depends significantly upon the action of the

biceps brachialis

the chief function of the ____ is to pull the synovial membrane of the elbow joint out of the way of the advancing olecranon process during extension of the elbow

anconeus muscle

elbow stability is locked when at full ____ and unlocked at >____

extension, 20 degrees flexion

in the anatomical position, the radius is more medial than the ulna

false

in the context of wrist and hand movements, radial flexion refers to the movement of the thumb side of the hand toward the medial aspect or radial side of the forearm

false

the elbow includes all of the following ligaments except the

interosseus ligament

the carpal tunnel houses flexor tendons as well as the median nerve. what wrist flexor tendon does not pass through the carpal tunnel, making it an easy tendon to harvest and use during a UCL reconstruction surgery (it's absent in a small percentage of the population)

palmaris longus

pronation

of the carpal bones, which articulates with the radius and is critical in transferring force from the hand into the forearm

scaphoid

movements of the wrist joint include flexion, extension, abduction and adduction

true

positioning the forearm in pronation decreases the effectiveness of the biceps brachii muscle, in flexing the elbow
