Link 1 is the Google search of "largest muscle."\n\nLink 2 (found in Link 1) says "latissimus dorsi."\n\nLink 3 (found in Link 1) says "gluteus maximus." Most of the other links appear to agree with this.\n\nLink 4 says it's the heart.\n\nLink 5 is catbird's other question about this.

There are no common names for these terms. They are precise scientific terms. There are many different types of synovial joint with different ranges of movement\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_joint

depends, but forearm if using a western grip and producing topspin. this is the most likely case now because it is the most common stroke taught in tennis classes (instead of a continental or eastern forehand). however, to make it stronger the best thing to do is hold a free weight (1-hand dumb bell) in your right or left hand with your palm up. then twist your wrist upwards to stretch the "top" of the forearm.

I'm not a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any doubt. \n\nCarpal tunnel is a tunnel formed by your wrist bones (capals). There are arranged in U shape and form the floor and wall of the tunnel. A ligament called transverse carpal ligament forms the roof. \n\nSeveral tendons of the muscles that bend the fingers pass through the tunnel, as well as a nerve called median nerve. If pressure rises in the tunnel, the nerve will be compressed and causing paralysis of the muscles and tingling sensation or sensory loss of skin area supplied by the nerve.\n\nThere are many causes for carpal tunnel syndrome. To name a few, tendonitis (inflammation of tendon(s) that pass throught the tunnel), pregnancy, liver failure, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, genetic. Sometimes no cause can be found. \n\nTreatment is by treating the underlying cause. If not, corticosteroid injection may help. Surgery decompression is used if the nerve damage is severe and causing disability.

Well, the horizontal fraction bar is called a "vinculum" but the slanted version is called a "solidus."\n\nEDITED TO ADD: dax is right, btw... the word "solidus" applies to any use of a "slash."  Also, the word "vinculum" applies to any placement of a bar over mathematical symbols in order to group them, like the horizontal bar part of the radical ("square root") symbol (√), or the bar placed over the repeating numbers of a decimal expression.

They call it tennis elbow-- simply because that type of tendonitis injury happens quite frequently by tennis players.  Its the same reason why a severly sprained big toe is referred to a Turf Toe since that injury happens quite frequently on artificial turf.

Sounds like a HINGE joint.  Not sure if you're referring to the type of joint or the name.  Elbows and knees are types of hinge joints

The rule of thumb is likely derived from the fact that people used the thumb as a measuring device. The length from the tip to the first knuckle is roughly an inch and perhaps the length of the inch is derived from this fact.

I think it is caused by a nerve ending right in the joint of your elbow. People do call it your funny bone.

The ulnar nerve is a nerve that in humans runs down the arm and forearm, and into the hand.\n\nThe ulnar nerve comes from the lower cord of the brachial plexus, and runs posterior to the humerus down the arm, going behind the medial epicondyle at the elbow. This part of the ulnar nerve is known as the funnybone for two reasons: because of its proximity to the humerus (and the similar word "humorous"), and because of the mild pain and tingling throughout the forearm associated with sudden compression of the nerve at this point.\n\nIt enters the anterior (front) side of the forearm, and runs alongside the ulna. It supplies one and a half muscles in the forearm: flexor carpi ulnaris (which flexes and adducts the wrist), and the medial two digits of flexor digitorum profundis (a muscle that flexes the fingers).

The back of the elbow is called the Olecranal and the front of the elbow is called the Antecubital.

Could be a circulation problem. I used to get it in my arms when I was driving for a long time, and it eventually turned to pain. That was a few years a ago. Turns out now I have fibro myalgia which is phantom pains all over my body (its really fun...) You could have carpel tunnel, or anything else. Make a physical appointment, and tell your Dr. He/she may want to do blood work just to check up on it.

Well, I assume you know about finger bones, so I won't go into that...\n\nImagine if you will, right above your elbow, a cluster of muscles with bands of ligament running from them to your fingers.\n\n(extensor digitorum lateralis, extensor digitorum communis, etc)\n\nYou move your fingers, you feel something right in your arm, distal of your elbow, yes?\n\nThose are the muscles that 'pull' if you will, your tendons that run into your digits (fingers).\n\nFlex muscle, pull tendon, finger bends.\n\nI hope this helps,\nGood luck on your project!\n-William
