Coracoid Process. The coracoid process points anteriorly over the tip of the shoulder joint and serves as an attachment point for some of the upper limb muscles.
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa is the socket in the scapula for the arm bone.glenoid fossaglenoid cavity or glenoid fossa
The glenoid component. This component replaces the glenoid cavity. It is made of very high-density polyethelene.
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
The Glenoid cavity is located in a humans shoulder.
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa of scapula.
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
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.

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 bone that articulates with the glenoid cavity to form the shoulder joint is the humerus. Specifically, the head of the humerus fits into the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula, creating a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder. This joint is known as the glenohumeral joint.
