Question

Q4 3. Why can't our elbows bend backwards?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Structurally joints don't bend both ways because there are physical components within their design that prevent or resist motion. This could be bone, such as the elbow joint, or it could be ligamentous restraint, such as in the knee. All joints in the body are a compromise between mobility and stability

• Our elbow cannot move backwards because it has a hinge joint which allows the movement in one plane only

Answer 2

Answer:

Your elbow doesn't bend backward as far as it does forward because the olecranon process, the tip of the elbow, acts as a stop. This prevents injury, such as a dislocation.
