Question

The depression on the distal end of the anterior humerus is (the)________.
A) olecranon fossa
B) coronoid fossa
C) intercondylar fossa
D) intertubercular groove
E) None of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

The depression on the distal end of the anterior humerus is called the coronoid fossa. The olecranon fossa is a depression on the posterior side of the humerus, the intercondylar fossa is a groove between the two condyles of the humerus, and the intertubercular groove is a groove on the proximal end of the humerus. Therefore, B is the only correct answer.
