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.
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 type of synovial joint does a rounded or pointed surface on one bone articulate with a ring formed partly by another bone and partly by a ligament?
In case of shoulder joint you have the glenoid cavity of the scapula taking part in joint formation. You have the glenoid labrum to increase the surface area of the glenoid cavity. The large head of the humerus takes part in joint formation.
What allows the humerus head to glide smoothly over the shoulder joint cavity?
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

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.
Bone that forms a ball and socket joint with the humerous?
The bone is called the scapula and the part of the scapula that articulates with the humerus is known as the glenoid fossa.
What type of synovial joint does a rounded or pointed surface on one bone articulate with a ring formed partly by another bone and partly by a ligament?
In case of shoulder joint you have the glenoid cavity of the scapula taking part in joint formation. You have the glenoid labrum to increase the surface area of the glenoid cavity. The large head of the humerus takes part in joint formation.
What is the medical term meaning upper arm bone?
The shoulder is the scapula (Located on your upper back) and the humerus is the upper arm bone. You may also be referring to the ball and socket joint where the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula.
What allows the humerus head to glide smoothly over the shoulder joint cavity?
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
What is one of the gliding and sliding joint?
No, the Humeroscapular Joint is a ball and socket joint. Although shallow the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the Scapula. This is one of the reasons that shoulder dislocations are so common. The other being the lack of support at the inferior portion of the joint.
What are the articulating bones in the shoulder?
The 'ulnar' articulates on the 'humerus'. The 'radiu's also articulates in 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.
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
