What is the name of the fossa that articulates with the humerus?
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.
What forms a joint with a fossa?
A joint is formed with a fossa when a bone's convex surface fits into the concave depression of the fossa, allowing for articulation and movement. For example, the glenoid cavity (fossa) of the scapula forms a joint with the head of the humerus, creating the shoulder joint. This arrangement enables a range of motion while providing stability to the joint.
What is the annicubita fossa?
The annicubita fossa, also known as the antecubital fossa, is a triangular anatomical space located at the front of the elbow. It serves as a critical area for the passage of important structures, including the brachial artery, median nerve, and the tendons of several muscles. This fossa is clinically significant for procedures such as venipuncture, where healthcare providers often access veins in the region for blood draws. Its boundaries are formed by the biceps brachii tendon, the brachialis muscle, and the pronator teres muscle.
Name the muscle in the pig and in the human that occupies the fossa above the spine of the scapula?
supraspinatus
What are the three fossa of the scapula?
The three fossae of the scapula are the supraspinous fossa, infraspinous fossa, and subscapular fossa. The supraspinous fossa is located above the spine of the scapula and serves as the origin for the supraspinatus muscle. The infraspinous fossa is situated below the spine and provides attachment for the infraspinatus muscle. The subscapular fossa is found on the anterior surface of the scapula and serves as the origin for the subscapularis muscle.
The supraspinosis fossa is located on what bone?
It's called the supraspinous fossa and it's on the scapula.
Name the origin of the supraspinatus muscle?
The supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula.
What is the large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula?
The large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula is called the subscapular fossa. It is located on the anterior surface of the scapula and provides attachment for the subscapularis muscle, which is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff in the shoulder.
What is the name the anterior depression on the scapula?
The anterior depression on the scapula is called the subscapular fossa. It is located on the anterior surface of the scapula and serves as the attachment site for the subscapularis muscle.
Where can infraspinous fossa befound in a bone?
The infraspinous fossa is located on the posterior aspect of the scapula, specifically below the spine of the scapula. It serves as an attachment site for the infraspinatus muscle, which is one of the rotator cuff muscles. This fossa is important for shoulder stability and movement.
What is the scapula divided by?
The scapula is divided by acromion, coracoid and Glenoid fossa.
Which fossae of the scapula contain muscles that stabilize the shoulder?
Subscapular fossa, Supraspinous fossa, Infraspinous fossa
What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The muscle you are referring to is the subscapularis muscle. It originates on the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus. It is responsible for medial rotation of the shoulder joint.
How many glenoid fossa in the human body?
Four. The glenoid fossa of each scapula and of each temporal bone.
What bone is the glenoid fossa located on?
scapula
