The bones entering into its forma- tion are the trochlea of the humerus, which is received into the greater sigmoid cavity of the ulna, and admits of the movements peculiar to such a joint—viz., flexion and extension; while the capitellum or radial head of the humerus articu- lates with the cup-shaped depression on the head of the radius; the circum- ference of the head of the radius articulates with the lesser sigmoid cavi

The articular surfaces are covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage, and connected by a capsular.
