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.


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


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.


What articulates with the manubrium?

With the clavicals (as well as) The coastal cartilage of the first and second ribs and the body of the sternum.


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.


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 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


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 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.


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.


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.


What is the name of the fossa that articulates with the humerus?

The fossa that articulates with the humerus is called the glenoid fossa, located on the scapula bone. This fossa forms the shoulder joint, known as the glenohumeral joint, which allows for a wide range of motion of the arm.
