Question

The proximal end of the ulna illustrates the relationship of form and function. The rounded trochlear notch articulates with the hourglass shape of the trochlea. This forms a joint that allows for ________.

Answer 1

Answer: hinge like motion of the forearm

Step-by-step explanation:

The trochlea is the rough hourglass shaped structure that can be found on the distal end of the humerus. The trochlea articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna. This structure performs the function of the hinge joint in the forearm and allows the functions like movements of the circumduction, flexion and extension muscles. These movements does not take place in the antero-posterior side of the humerus.
