The humerus
On the lateral angle of the scapula is a shallow pyriform, articular surface, the glenoid cavity (or glenoid fossa) of scapula
Comes from Greek: gléne, "socket"), which is directed lateralward and forward and articulates with the head of the humerus; it is broader below than above and its vertical diameter is the longest.

What is the glenoid fossa of the scapula articulates with?
The glenoid fossa of the scapula articulates with the head of the humerus, forming the shoulder joint. It is a shallow, cup-shaped socket that allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder joint.
The coronoid process articulates with what depression on the distal end of the humerus?
The depression in the scapula can be either one of four different structures; the supraspinatus fossa, the infraspinatus fossa, the subscapular fossa, or the glenoid fossa. The problem is that none of these articulate with the ulna. The bone you are probably looking for is the humerus, and it articulates with the last one I mentioned, the glenoid fossa.
Glenoid fossa of scapula articulates with?
The glenoid fossa of the scapula articulates with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation.
What articulates with the manubrium?

What is the cavity that serves as the socket of the scapula?
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa is the socket in the scapula for the arm bone.glenoid fossaglenoid cavity or glenoid fossa
Bone that forms a ball and socket joint with the humerous?
The bone is called the scapula and the part of the scapula that articulates with the humerus is known as the glenoid fossa.
What cartilage lines the glenoid fossa?
The glenoid labrum
How many glenoid fossa in the human body?
Four. The glenoid fossa of each scapula and of each temporal bone.
What is the Difference between glenoid fossa and glenoid cavity?
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
