Which of the following is a true statement?
A) The rotator cuff is responsible for the flexible extensions at the elbow joint.
B) The head of the humerus articulates with the acromion process.
C) The ulna and the radius articulate at both the proximal and distal ends.
D) The greater tubercle of the humerus articulates at the coracoid process of the scapula.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ulna and radius are the two bones of the forearm, which articulate with one another at both the proximal and distal ends to allow for movement of the wrist joint and rotation of the forearm. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that are responsible for stabilizing the shoulder joint, not the elbow joint. The head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula, not the acromion process. The greater tubercle of the humerus articulates with the scapula at the supraglenoid tubercle, not the coracoid process.
