what is a condyle?
CONDYLE
"knuckle' or rounded projection at the end of a bone that articulates to another bone
what is the epicondyle?
EPICONDYLE
rounded projection at end of the bone, located on or above the condyle & usually attachment for ligaments & tendons

the radial head of the proximal radius interfaces with which part of the humerus?
the radial head of the proximal radius interfaces with the CAPITULUM of the humerus
the anterior coranoid process & posterior olecranon process interface with which part of the humerus?
the anterior caronoi and posterior olecranon process of the proximal ulna interface with the trochlea of the distal humerus
what is interosseous membrane (hint: in 2 limbs!)?
INTEROSSEOUS MEMBRANE
interconnects the radius & ulna
also interconnects the tibia & fibula

fibrocartilage separates the ulna from carpals
which bone plays a key role in hand/wrist movement?
radius
what is the pollex?
finger #1, the thumb, numbering of the metacarpals start at the pollex
