Note that this ligament is also referred to as the medial collateral ligament [1] and should not be confused with the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL). [ 2 ] The anterior portion , directed obliquely forward, is attached, above, by its apex, to the front part of the medial epicondyle of the humerus ; and, below, by its broad base to the ...
The ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint is in relation with the ulnar nerve. The nerve is the largest in the human body unprotected by muscle or bone, so injury is common. [ 1 ] This nerve is directly connected to the little finger , and the adjacent half of the ring finger , innervating the palmar aspect of these fingers, including both ...
The location of the muscle in a standard human body. The location first specifies a group such as head, neck, torso, upper limbs, or lower limbs, then may have more specific information. However this additional information must be describing location not function. Origin

Only skeletal and smooth muscles are part of the musculoskeletal system and only the muscles can move the body. Cardiac muscles are found in the heart and are used only to circulate blood; like the smooth muscles, these muscles are not under conscious control. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and arranged in opposing groups around joints. [8]
A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. It also connects flight feathers to bones, in dinosaurs and birds. All 30,000 species of amniotes (land animals with internal bones) have ligaments. It is also known as articular ligament, articular larua, [1] fibrous ligament, or true ligament.
The musculocutaneous nerve innervates all the muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm. The median nerve innervates all the muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm except flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar part of the flexor digitorum profundus. It also innervates the three thenar muscles and the first and second lumbricals.
The ulna is ossified from three centers: one each for the body, the wrist end, and the elbow end, near the top of the olecranon. Ossification begins near the middle of the body of the ulna, about the eighth week of fetal life, and soon extends through the greater part of the bone. At birth, the ends are cartilaginous.
