Ball + Socket Joint;

Round Head of the Humerus and Glenoid cavity of the Scapula.

A fibrocartilaginousrim know as the GLENOID LABRUM deepens the cavity.

Downward Rotation of the Scapula
(Rotary movement of the scapula with the inferior angle of the scapula moving medially and downward)
-Rhomboid Major
-Rhomboid Minor
-Pectoralis Minor
Upward Rotation of the Scapula
(Rotary movement of the scapula with the inferior angle of the scapula moving laterally and upward)
-Serratus Anterior
-Trapezius
Elbow Bones:
1) Distal Humerus
2) Proximal radius and Ulna
Articulations of the Elbow
1) Lateral Condyle of Humerus (capitulum) with the radius

2) Medial Condyle of Humerus (Trochlea) with the Ulna

3) Joint Capsule + Supporting Ligaments
Supporting Ligaments of the Elbow
1) Ulnar Collateral
2) Radial Collateral
3) Annular Ligament (Stabilizes and encircles the head of the radius)
Motions of the Elbow
1) Flexion
2) Extension
3) Supination
4) Pronation
Why is pronation/supination possible in the elbow joint?
The Head of the Radius rests against the capitulum freely without any bone limitations
Elbow: Synovium and Bursa
Synovial Membrane encircles the elbow and superior radioulnar articulations and lubricates the deeper structures of the two joints.

The two main bursae are the bicipital bursae which cushions the tendon when the forearm is pronated and the olecranon bursae which forms a liquid cushion
