How many bones are in the cubitus?
The cubitus consists of three main bones: the humerus, radius, and ulna, which work together to form the elbow joint. This joint is classified as a hinge joint, allowing for flexion and extension movements primarily. WIII); NOTE: both ulna,-ae (s. I), and cubitus,-i (s. II) mean ‘elbow,’ but the ulna is the anatomical elbow bone, the cubitus is “the elbow (serving for leaning upon)” (Lewis & Short).
