no, the glenoid cavity is not in the clavicle. it is in the scapula, next to the acromion process and the coracoid process, which provide stability. the glenoid cavity articulates with the head of the humerus as a ball-and-socket joint.
It's the Scapula
Humerus
The scapula
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa is the socket in the scapula for the arm bone.glenoid fossaglenoid cavity or glenoid fossa
In case of shoulder joint you have the glenoid cavity of the scapula taking part in joint formation. You have the glenoid labrum to increase the surface area of the glenoid cavity. The large head of the humerus takes part in joint formation.
Ball and socket
the glenoid cavity of the scapula; and the head of the humerous.
cranial cavity
The Glenoid cavity is located in a humans shoulder.
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa is the socket in the scapula for the arm bone.glenoid fossaglenoid cavity or glenoid fossa
The glenoid component. This component replaces the glenoid cavity. It is made of very high-density polyethelene.
The Glenoid fossa is so called when is not surrounded by the Glenoid labrum (which increases its depth and also increases the surface of contact with the head of the humerus). In a specimen (or in a human body) the glenoid labrum is present, therefore the Glenoid fossa is called Glenoid cavity (deeper). Basically the difference is in the presence of the glenoid labrum... not really the same thing. Anatomy/Pathology Student

the glenoid cavity is where the bone from the arm does all it's movements. it's essentially the "socket", if you consider the shoulder joint a ball and socket joint.
