The fossa that articulates with the humerus is called the glenoid fossa, located on the scapula bone. This fossa forms the shoulder joint, known as the glenohumeral joint, which allows for a wide range of motion of the arm.
The mandibular fossa is a depression on the underside of the temporal bone where the lower jaw (mandible) articulates to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This joint allows for jaw movement during activities like chewing and speaking. The mandibular fossa is lined with cartilage and acts as a cushion to reduce friction during jaw movements.
A scapula has one fossa called the glenoid fossa, which is a shallow depression where the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) articulates to form the shoulder joint.
the fossa's paws help the fossa to swim the paws are like paddleds
A baby fossa is called a kit or a cub.
The fossa that articulates with the humerus is called the glenoid fossa, located on the scapula bone. This fossa forms the shoulder joint, known as the glenohumeral joint, which allows for a wide range of motion of the arm.
The landmark that contacts with olecranon fossa to form its joint is the olecranon process of the ulna. It forms the elbow joint with the humerus at the olecranon fossa, providing stability and allowing for extension of the forearm.
The humerous and the glenoid fossa form the ball-socket joint.
The olecranon fossa of the humerus articulates with the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow is extended. This forms the back part of the elbow joint.
The bone is called the scapula and the part of the scapula that articulates with the humerus is known as the glenoid fossa.
The jaw bone articulates with the temporal bone at the mandibular fossa, also known as the glenoid fossa or the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone. This is where the temporomandibular joint is formed, allowing for movements of the jaw.
The fossa on the distal posterior surface of the humerus is the olecranon fossa. It is located above the trochlea and accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow is extended. It helps to increase the range of motion of the elbow joint.
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.
The articular disc of the temporomandibular joint acts as a cushion and helps maintain the mandibular condyle in position within the fossa. Ligaments, muscles, and the shape of the condyle and fossa also contribute to stabilizing the joint and preventing the condyle from slipping posteriorly.

The olecranon fossa is located on the posterior aspect of the humerus bone in the elbow joint. It is a depression that accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow is fully extended.
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.
