The glenohumeral joint is the main joint connecting the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula), allowing a wide range of motion in the shoulder. It is a ball-and-socket joint, with the ball being the head of the humerus and the socket being the glenoid cavity of the scapula. Ligaments, tendons, and muscles surrounding the joint provide stability and support during movement.
