Extension or straightening of the elbow stops when the proximal end of the ulna engages the olecranon fossa of the humerus.

Explanation:

Extension of the elbow is the straightening of the forearm or bringing it back to its anatomical position by the triceps brachii and the anconeus muscles.

The elbow joint, a hinge type of joint, is formed at the conjunction of humeral distal end with the ulnar proximal end.

Olecranon process is a structure at the ulnar distal end which fits exactly into the olecranon process at the humeral proximal head with the arm in extended position.

Olecranon fossa is a <em>triangular</em> depression or fossa which is deep in the posterior humerus. So the range of motion due to extension of forearm terminates or limits at the contact of the ulnar olecranon process with that of the humeral olecranon process at the olecranon fossa.

Answer:

C. Balancing a chemical equation simply means ensuring that the same numbers of atoms of the elements which are involved in the reaction (reactants) are represented in the result of the reaction (products). This demonstrates that matter is not created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The products of a reaction contains a certain number of each atom constituting each product;

Matter cannot be created or destroyed so the reactants must contain the same number of each atom;

Balancing the equations means this will be the case and hence, this will demonstrate the number of each reactant atom/molecule necessary for the reaction to proceed
