- At operation, both patients were discovered to have a synovial cyst within the posterior aspect of the elbow, specifically within the olecranon fossa causing their painful symptoms of locking. The tip of the olecranon impinges on the fat pad in the olecranon fossa (Fig.

olecranon The olecranon fossa is deep and there is no ent-epicondylar foramen. At the same time, the olecranon is curved strongly downwards. The ulna presents at its superior extremity a posterior process, the olecranon, which forms the point of the elbow. In the dog, the olecranon fossa communicates with the coronoid by an opening.

Olecranon Bursitis DESCRIPTION. The olecranon (oh-LEH-cruh-nahn) is the pointy bone at the tip of the elbow. The bursa is the thin sac of fluid that lies between this boney tip and the skin. It helps the skin slide over the bone smoothly. Normally, this sac has only a tiny bit of fluid inside of it and lays flat.

Olecranon fracture Olecranon fracture. Olecranon fracture is a fracture of the bony portion of the elbow. The injury is fairly common and often occurs following a fall or direct trauma to the elbow. The olecranon is the proximal extremity of the ulna which is articulated with the humerus bone and constitutes a part of the elbow articulation.

- Olecranon bursitis, which affects the olecranon bursa at the back of the elbow, is sometimes called Popeye elbow. This is because the bump that develops at the back of the elbow looks like the cartoon character Popeye's elbow.

Ovary Each ovary is whitish in color and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus in a region called the ovarian fossa. The ovarian fossa is the region that is bounded by the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. This area is about 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in size.

Humerus The capitulum laterally articulates with the radius; the trochlea, a spool-shaped surface, articulates with the ulna. The two depressions—the olecranon fossa, behind and above the trochlea, and the coronoid fossa, in front and above—receive projections of the ulna as the elbow is alternately straightened and flexed. The epicondyles,...

Complications of Olecranon Fractures When you bend your elbow, you can easily feel its tip, a bony prominence that extends from one of the lower arm bones (the ulna). That tip is called the olecranon (oh-lek'-rah-nun). It is positioned directly under the skin of the elbow, without much protection from muscles or other soft tissues. It can easily break if you experience a direct blow to the elbow or fall on a bent elbow. The olecranon is the bony point of the elbow.

anconal the projection of the ulna that occupies the olecranon fossa of the humerus when the elbow is extended and which develops as a separate ossification center in some dogs. a failure of the anconeal process to unite with the ulna, resulting in fracture through the growth plate. Seen mainly in young dogs of large breeds, causing varying degrees of weight-bearing lameness and arthritis.

The Ulna Important landmarks of the proximal ulna are the olecranon, coronoid process, trochlear notch, radial notch and the tuberosity of ulna: 1  Olecranon – A large projection of bone that extends proximally, forming part of trochlear notch. 2  Coronoid process – This ridge of bone projects outwards anteriorly, forming part of the trochlear notch.

- The olecranon is the part of the ulna that cups the end of the humerus and rotates around the end of the humerus like a hinge. It is the bony point of the elbow and can easily be felt beneath the skin because it is covered by just a thin layer of tissue.

cubital fossa A wedge-shaped region just under the skin on either side of the lower end of the rectum and anal canal. The fossa is bounded laterally by the obturator internus muscle and the tuberosity of the ischium, medially by the levator ani and coccygeus muscles, and posteriorly by the gluteus maximus muscle.n the anterior surface of the lower end of the humerus, a depression proximal to the trochlea and between the lateral and medial epicondyles; it is analogous to the olecranon fossa on the opposite side of the humerus.

- The medical term is olecranal skin (the olecranon is the tip of the ulna, forming the point of the elbow). The slang term weenis (also wenis) likely derives from the associati … on with the interior of the elbow, as compared to the loose protruding skin on the outside. 15 people found this useful.lecranal, is not referring to the skin, but to the protrusion of the bone called … the ulna. In human anatomy class, we were told that the elbow skin is continuous and contiguous with the rest of the skin on your body, which is part of the integument, or epidermis.

RIXIMKA DUMARKA Structure [edit]. In the case of human ovaries, each one is whitish in color and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus in a region called the ovarian fossa.The fossa usually lies beneath the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. It is about 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in size.n humans the paired ovaries lie within the pelvic cavity, on either side of the uterus, to which they are attached via a fibrous cord called the ovarian ligament. The ovaries are uncovered in the peritoneal cavity but are tethered to the body wall via the suspensory ligament of the ovary.

Medical Definition of Elbow The biceps muscle is the major muscle that flexes the elbow hinge, and the triceps muscle is the major muscle that extends it. The primary stability of the elbow is provided by the ulnar collateral ligament, located on the medial (inner) side of the elbow. The outer bony prominence of the elbow is the lateral epicondyle, a part of the humerus bone. Tendons attached to this area can be injured, causing inflammation or tendonitis (lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow). The inner portion of the elbow is a bony prominence called the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
