2. What is the blue dot pointing at?

Explanation

The blue dot is pointing at the Olecranon Fossa. The Olecranon Fossa is a depression on the posterior surface of the distal end of the humerus bone. It is located just above the Olecranon, which is the bony prominence of the elbow. The Olecranon Fossa provides a space for the Olecranon process of the ulna bone to move freely when the elbow is flexed and extended.

4. Identify the purple rectangle.

Explanation

The purple rectangle in the given options is the coracoid process. This is a bony projection located on the scapula (shoulder blade) that curves forward and downward. It serves as an attachment point for several muscles and ligaments, including the coracobrachialis muscle and the coracoclavicular ligament. The coracoid process can be easily identified due to its distinct shape and position on the scapula.

5. Which is the lateral bone of the antebrachium?

Explanation

The radius is the lateral bone of the antebrachium. The antebrachium refers to the region between the elbow and the wrist, and the radius is one of the two bones in the forearm. It is located on the thumb side of the forearm and runs parallel to the ulna, which is the medial bone. The radius plays a crucial role in the movement of the forearm, allowing for rotation and movement of the wrist and hand.

6. Which is the actual elbow "bone"?

Explanation

The actual elbow "bone" is the Olecranon Process. The Olecranon Process is a bony projection located at the top of the ulna bone in the forearm. It forms the prominent bony point of the elbow and serves as an attachment site for muscles and ligaments. The Lateral Epicondyle and Radial Tuberosity are also structures associated with the elbow joint, but they are not considered the actual elbow "bone".
