There is a joint capsule full of synnovial fluid and the articular surfaces of both of the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity are very reciprocal in their shape meaning that they fit together like a ball in glove for smooth movements

The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with what of the humerus?

The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the head of the humerus, forming the glenohumeral joint, also known as the shoulder joint. This articulation allows for the wide range of motion seen in the shoulder joint.


Anatomical position humerus to scapula?

The humerus articulates with the scapula at the glenoid fossa to form the shoulder joint. Specifically, the head of the humerus sits in the shallow, concave glenoid cavity of the scapula. This ball-and-socket joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.


What type of joint does the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity?

The head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form a ball-and-socket joint known as the shoulder joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.


The humerus articulates with what bone marking of the scapula?

marking or making? Humerus bone makes joint with Clavicula and scapula That is the shoulder joint


What bone fits into the cavity of the scapula bone?

Humeral head. But, which cavity? Clavicle also joins the scapula.


What is the bone in the human body that articulates with the humerus and radius?

The shoulder is composed of the clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade) and humerus (upper arm bone). The roof of the shoulder is formed the acromion. The shoulder actually has two joints to facilitate its movement.The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is located between the acromion and clavicle. The glenohumeral joint, or shoulder joint, is a ball-and-socket joint where the top of the humerus (the ball) fits into the glenoid cavity of the scapula (the socket). Muscles, tendons, and ligaments hold these bones together. Articular cartilage covers the surface of the shoulder joint, allowing the bones to glide smoothly and protects and cushions the joints.


What structure is directly superior to the head of the humerus?

The acromion, which protrude from the scapula, is the body structure directly superior to the head of the humerus.


What are markings include glenoid cavity and acromion?

The glenoid cavity is a shallow depression on the scapula where the head of the humerus articulates to form the shoulder joint. The acromion is a bony process of the scapula that forms the point of the shoulder and articulates with the clavicle to stabilize the shoulder joint.


Where is the glenoid cavity located?

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.


Why is the shoulder joint also called the glenohumeral joint?

The shoulder joint is called the glenohumeral joint because it is formed by the articulation of the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) with the glenoid cavity of the scapula (shoulder blade). Gleno- refers to the glenoid cavity, which is part of the scapula, and humeral refers to the humerus bone.


The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the what of the humerus?

the head of the humerus


What is the difference between glenoid cavity and acetabulum cavity?

The glenoid cavity is found in the upper body, where the humerus joins the scapulaand is referred to as the shoulder socket. It is not very deep and allows for a great range of motion. The acetabulum is in the lower body, where the ilium joins the femur. It is a deep socket and is very secure for the support and ability to bear the weight of our bodies
