What is the coronoid fossa of humerus?
The coronoid fossa is
located superior to the trochlea
and accommodates the coronoid process of the ulna and superior to the capitulum on the anterior surface of the condyle, which is the radial fossa which receives with the head of the radius, both upon flexion of the elbow joint.
Where is the Coronoid fossa of the humerus?
The coronoid fossa is located
superior to the trochlea
and accommodates the coronoid process of the ulna and superior to the capitulum on the anterior surface of the condyle, which is the radial fossa which receives with the head of the radius, both upon flexion of the elbow joint.
Which fossa is on the humerus?
The coronoid fossa
Which bones have a coronoid process?
The coronoid process is a triangular eminence projecting forward from the upper and front
part of the ulna
. Its base is continuous with the body of the bone, and of considerable strength. Its apex is pointed, slightly curved upward, and in flexion of the forearm is received into the coronoid fossa of the humerus.
Why is it called the Coronoid fossa?

Which fossa are found on the anterior side of the humerus?
Coronoid Fossa (Fossa coronoidea)
is a depression located superior to the anterior aspect of the trochlea. This region provides space for the coronoid process of the ulna when the forearm is flexed.
What part of the body is the humerus?
The humerus is
the bone in your upper arm
. It’s located between your elbow and your shoulder, and consists of several parts that allow it to move freely in different directions. Your humerus has important functions related to both movement and support.
What bones are connected to the humerus?
The humerus (/ˈhjuːmərəs/, plural: humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. It connects
the scapula and the two bones of the lower arm, the radius and ulna
, and consists of three sections.
What is the longest bone in the body?
The longest bone in the human body is called
the femur, or thigh bone
Which two bones below we can find coronoid process?
The coronoid process is found on
the ulna
and interfaces with the coronoid fossa of the humerus in the elbow.
What is the difference between Coronoid and coracoid?
The key difference between coronoid and coracoid is
their distribution
; coronoid process is present as a pointed projection of the ulna while the coracoid process is present as a pointed projection of the scapula. Movement and structure play important roles in the skeletal-muscular system.
Can you feel your coronoid process?
The coracoid process is
palpable just below the lateral end of the clavicle
(collar bone).
What is the function of a fossa?
Fossa – A shallow depression in the bone surface. Here it may receive another articulating bone or
act to support brain structures
.
Where is head of radius?
The radial head is
at the top of the radius bone
Is the coracoid process anterior or posterior?
The coracoid process is an
anteriorly projecting
hook-like process on the superolateral edge of the scapula that projects anterolaterally.
