5. None of the above

4 / 19

Category: Elbow

4. With regard to the elbow joint, which is NOT TRUE?

1. it communicates with the radioulnar joint

2. the carrying angle is mostly determined by the obliquity of the ridge between coronoid and olecranon prominences

3. the radial collateral, ulnar collateral and annular ligaments keep the bones together

4. the carrying angle is partly determined by the bow in the ulnar and radial shafts

5. it is supplied by the brachial nerve
