Flashcards
Bone and Joint Contribution
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Which bones are primarily involved in shoulder and arm movement during rowing?Humerus, ulna, radius, and scapula.
- 2What is the role of the glenohumeral joint in shoulder movement?It provides a large range of motion for mobility in flexion and extension.
- 3What is the function of the humeroulnar joint during rowing?It allows flexion and extension, contributing to power generation.
- 4What is the scapulothoracic joint, and what is its function?It is the articulation between the scapula and the thoracic cage, allowing scapular movement to extend the reach of shoulder flexion.
- 5what bones make up the shoulder joint?Humerus – The upper arm bone, specifically the head of the humerus, which is a rounded, ball-like structure.
Scapula – The shoulder blade, particularly the glenoid fossa, which is a shallow socket that receives the head of the humerus.
Clavicle – The collarbone, which connects to the scapula at the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, playing a supportive role in shoulder movement and stability. - 6what bones make up the elbow jointhumerus, ulna, radius
These bones form three articulations within the elbow joint:
Humeroulnar joint – Between the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna (main hinge for flexion and extension).
Humeroradial joint – Between the capitulum of the humerus and the head of the radius.
Proximal radioulnar joint – Between the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna (allows for forearm rotation: pronation and supination).
