how does the anatomy of the knee differ from the elbow
The knee is a ball in socket joint and the elbow is a hinge joint.urface anatomy is the anatomy of the outside of an organ, such as the surface of the skin or surface of the heart, while regional anatomy takes the perspective of an entire a â¦ rea, such as in the thoracic region you would study the heart, lungs, aorta, and intercostal muscles just to name a few.
Elbow Anatomy. The elbow is a relatively simple hinge joint which only allows flexion and extension. The elbow joint occurs at the junction the humerus or upper arm bone, the ulna which is the larger of the two forearm bones and the radius bone.oth sections arise from the Medial Epicondyle and pass over the inside of the elbow joint. The anterior portion then attaches to the front part of the top of the Ulna, known as the Coranoid process and the posterior part to the back of the Ulna, or Olecranon process.
