There are two areas on the scapula where the biceps attaches: the first is the coracoid process, the second is the glenoid tubercle. Not sure there is a more general single term that includes both of these areas.you are welcome! :)
What is the function of the coracoid process?
Together with the acromion, the coracoid process serves to stabilize the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint .
