What else can I help you with?
The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the what of the humerus?
the head of the humerus
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
A rounded knob that articulates with another bone is called a?
A "head". For example, the head of the humerus or head of the femur.
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
Rounded knob on the humerus?
The rounded knob on the humerus is called the capitulum. It is located on the lateral aspect of the humerus and articulates with the head of the radius to form the radiocapitellar joint, which allows for the bending and rotation of the elbow.
What two bones articulate with the distal humerus?
The ulna and the radius articulate with the distal humerus at the elbow joint. The ulna forms the primary articulation, while the head of the radius articulates with a small depression on the side of the ulna known as the radial notch.
