Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of the elbow joint: The elbow is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the forearm.

Identify the bones involved in the elbow joint: The elbow joint is primarily formed by the articulation of the humerus with the bones of the forearm.

Recognize the role of the humerus: The humerus is the long bone in the upper arm that connects to the shoulder and extends down to the elbow.

Identify the ulna's contribution: The ulna is one of the two long bones in the forearm, located on the side opposite the thumb, and it forms a hinge joint with the humerus.

Conclude which bones form the hinge joint: The hinge joint at the elbow is formed by the humerus and the ulna, allowing for the bending and straightening of the arm.
