The glenoid cavity and the acetabulum are both socket-like structures that articulate with the head of a bone; the glenoid cavity is part of the shoulder joint, accommodating the humeral head, while the acetabulum is found in the hip joint, receiving the femoral head. The glenoid cavity is relatively shallow, allowing for a greater range of motion in the shoulder but making it less stable, whereas the acetabulum is deeper, providing more stability for the hip joint. This difference in depth reflects the functional requirements of each joint, with the shoulder prioritizing mobility and the hip emphasizing stability.

What is the difference between glenoid cavity and acetabulum cavity?
The glenoid cavity is found in the upper body, where the humerus joins the scapulaand is referred to as the shoulder socket. It is not very deep and allows for a great range of motion. The acetabulum is in the lower body, where the ilium joins the femur. It is a deep socket and is very secure for the support and ability to bear the weight of our bodies
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 replace the glenoid cavity?
The glenoid component. This component replaces the glenoid cavity. It is made of very high-density polyethelene.
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
Where is glenhumorial cavity?
The Glenoid cavity is located in a humans shoulder.
What is the socket where the thigh bone joins the pelvis?
The hip joint if formed by the head of the femur and the acetabulum, which is a "cup" or concave structure integral to the pelvis. Below you'll find links to the related Wikipedia post where you can find more information and pictures.
Cavity surrounded by the hip bone?
The cavity surrounded by the hip bone is called the acetabulum. It is a socket-like structure where the head of the femur (thigh bone) articulates with the pelvis to form the hip joint. The acetabulum plays a crucial role in stabilizing the hip joint and allowing for a wide range of motion.
Which Region of the scapula does articulate with another bone?
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa of scapula.
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 is the cavity that serves as the socket for the femur to fit into?
Acetabulum
The glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the what of the humerous?
head
What is the name of a jont where the head of one bone fits into the socket of another?
No.1 Head of the humerus is fixed in socket of glenoid cavity or scapula thus forming shoulder joint. No.2 Head of femur in acetabulum of hip bone forming hip joint.
