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
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.
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.
What are all the bones that are distal to the glenoid cavity and proximal to the wrist?
The metacarpal bones are the bones distal to the wrist.metacarpalsThe five hand bones between the carpal bones of the wrist and the phalangeal bones of the fingers are the metacarpals.
The brain and the spinal cavity are located in what body cavity?
The brain and the spinal cavity are located in the dorsal body cavity.
Where is glenhumorial cavity?
The Glenoid cavity is located in a humans shoulder.
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
What replace the glenoid cavity?
The glenoid component. This component replaces the glenoid cavity. It is made of very high-density polyethelene.
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
Which Region of the scapula does articulate with another bone?
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa of scapula.
The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the what of the humerous?
head
What is the name of the bone that contains the glenoid cavity?
humerus
The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the what of the humerus?
the head of the humerus
What effect does the glenoid cavity have on the shoulder joint?
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.
Which bone articulates with the glenoid cavity to form he shopulder joint?
The bone that articulates with the glenoid cavity to form the shoulder joint is the humerus. Specifically, the head of the humerus fits into the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula, creating a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder. This joint is known as the glenohumeral joint.
What is the name of the circular structure that makes the shallow glenoid a deeper socket for the humerus?
The circular structure that enhances the depth of the shallow glenoid cavity for the humerus is called the glenoid labrum. This fibrocartilaginous rim surrounds the glenoid cavity, increasing its surface area and stability for the shoulder joint. The labrum helps to deepen the socket, providing better support and reducing the risk of dislocations.
What is the process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment?
Styloid process
