What type of joint is the shoulder?
Shoulder and Hip Joints are both ball and socket joints.. :) :D xThe Shoulder joint is also called the glenohumeral joint ... and is the most freely movable joint in the human body.
What is the functions of glenohumeral?
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).
Which of your movable joints are ball and socket joints?
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The hip is also.
What are three names of joints?
There are actually only two. The glenohumeral (or scapulohumeral) which is the joint between the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula, and the acromioclavicular, which is the joint between the clavicle and the acromion of the scapula. I guess you could also include the sternoclavicular, which is the joint between the sternum and the clavicle, but that is not technically part of the shoulder girdle.
What joint is formed by the humerus?
The distal (meaning furthest from the body) aspect of the humerus that forms the elbow is called the trochlea, which literally means pulley.The distal & medial aspect of the humerus in the region of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle, but this is more of a site for tendon attachment for flexor muscles. The medial epicondyle is not a part of the actual elbow joint.
What connects the arm to the body?
The glenohumeral joint which is also known as the "shoulder joint"

What attaches the shoulder to the sternum?
The clavicle. This bone is normally not consideredto be part of the shoulder an instead a part of the thorax, which is also true. The reason it is part of the shoulder is that it joint part of the scapula to form the soked of the glenohumeral joint.
Glenoid fossa of scapula articulates with?
The glenoid fossa of the scapula articulates with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation.
Which of your movable joints are ball and socket joints?
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The hip is also.
What are the two joints in the body that can be abducted and adducted?
the joints which allow abduction of the shoulder are the glenohumeral joint which is formed between the humerus and the glenoid fossa, the sternoclavicular joint which is formed between the upper portion of the sternum and the clavicle and also the acromioclavicular joint which is formed between the acromion process and the clavicle all of these joints work together with the muscles which produce shoulder abduction to create this movement.
What is shown on an AP view of the shoulder?
the glenohumeral joint space. usually two different ap projections are taken (depending on hospital protocol) AP internal rotation (of the humerus) and an external rotation looking at shoulder-arm articulations. you should be able to see a complete clavicle also.

There are actually only two. The glenohumeral (or scapulohumeral) which is the joint between the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula, and the acromioclavicular, which is the joint between the clavicle and the acromion of the scapula.

What is the movement of the deltoid?
The deltoid sits on top of the glenohumeral joint and helps to abduct and also to rotate the humerus.
What type of joint connects the shoulder blade (scapula) and the collarbone (clavicle)?
Its a question of Medical Anatomy (human anatomy), but not in the category of MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY. To the author: put your questions in the proper place at proper category! answer: Clavicula (clavicle in eng.) meets with Scapula at Shoulder joint
