The radius is a long bone, prism -shaped and slightly curved longitudinally. The radius is part of two joints: the elbow and the wrist. At the elbow, it joins with the capitulum of the humerus, and in a separate region, with the ulna at the radial notch. At the wrist, the radius forms a joint with the ulna bone.
23489. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into: a posterior, rough portion, for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii. [1][2][3][4] an anterior, smooth portion, on which a bursa is interposed between the tendon ...
38485. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The brachioradialis is a muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow. [1][2] It is also capable of both pronation and supination, depending on the position of the forearm. [2] It is attached to the distal styloid process of the radius by way of the brachioradialis tendon, and ...
Head of radius. The radius and ulna of the left forearm, posterior surface. The top is proximal (elbow) and bottom is distal (wrist). The head of the radius has a cylindrical form, and on its upper surface is a shallow cup or fovea for articulation with the capitulum of the humerus. The circumference of the head is smooth; it is broad medially ...
Cross-section through the middle of the forearm. (Muscles of mobile wad visible at center left.) The mobile wad (or mobile wad of Henry) is a group of the following three muscles found in the lateral compartment of the forearm: [1] It is also sometimes known as the "wad of three", [2] "lateral compartment", [3] or "radial group" [4] of the forearm.
The suprascapular, axillary, and radial nerves. The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb. It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and ...
23418. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] In human anatomy, the deltoid tuberosity is a rough, triangular [1] area on the antero lateral (front-side) surface of the middle of the humerus. [2] It is a site of attachment of deltoid muscle.
Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move. [1][2][3] Kinematics, as a field of study, is often referred to as the "geometry of motion" and is ...
