The glenohumeral joint is commonly known as the shoulder joint it is not a muscle. It acts functionally as a diarthrosis and multiaxial joint.
It is the most moveable joint in the body.
Flexion and extension of the shoulder joint in the (sagittal plane).
Abduction and adduction of the shoulder (frontal plane).
Horizontal abduction and horizontal adduction of the shoulder (transverse plane).
Medial and lateral rotation of shoulder (also known as internal and external rotation).
Circumduction of the shoulder (a combination of flexion/extension and abduction/adduction).
There are two joints in the shoulder - the 'main one' that joints the bone of the arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula) is called the glenohumeral joint. A smaller joint connects the shoulder blade with the collar bone (clavicle). This is called the acromioclavicular joint.
The glenohumeral joint is a ball-and socket joint that is formed between two bones, the humerus and the scapula. The humerus head, acting as the ball, fits into the end of the scapula known as the glenoid, the socket.
shoulder gridle is the shoulder complex it consist of 3 joints ie.sternoclavicular jt , acromioclavicular jt, and glenohumeral jt, in shoulder jt there is only glenohumeral jt is considered
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 Scapula articulates with the humerus and clavicle to make the shoulder socket.
Glenohumeral prefix
The subscapular bursa does not belong to the glenohumeral joint. It is located between the subscapularis tendon and the neck of the scapula, within the shoulder joint but not directly associated with the glenohumeral joint.
The 4 supporting ligaments of the glenohumeral joint are: -coracohumeral ligament (between the coracoid process and humerus) -3 glenohumeral ligaments (between the glenoid process and the humerus)
The glenohumeral joint (The shoulder) normally functions through a wide range of motions in a smooth, congruent fashion. When the articular surfaces of the humeral head or the glenoid are damaged, the smooth, fluid motion is compromised, and arthritis commonly is the result.
The only long head of the triceps is related to the moment of glenohumeral joint. This glenohumeral joint is more commonly called as shoulder joint. Whether this long head of the triceps is stretched or not, can not be commented.

There are two joints in the shoulder - the 'main one' that joints the bone of the arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula) is called the glenohumeral joint. A smaller joint connects the shoulder blade with the collar bone (clavicle). This is called the acromioclavicular joint.
The glenohumeral joint moves in multiple planes of motion, including flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and internal/external rotation. This allows for a wide range of movement in the shoulder joint.
