What is the cavity that serves as the socket of the scapula?
The cavity that serves as the socket of the scapula is called the glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa. This cavity articulates with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint.
How many glenoid fossa in the human body?
There is typically one glenoid fossa in the human body, located on the scapula bone.
What is the Difference between glenoid fossa and glenoid cavity?
The glenoid fossa is a concavity on the temporal bone of the skull, while the glenoid cavity is a shallow socket on the scapula bone of the shoulder joint. The glenoid fossa is part of the skull's temporomandibular joint, where the mandible articulates. The glenoid cavity is part of the shoulder joint, where the humerus articulates.
What bone is the glenoid fossa located on?
scapula
Which Region of the scapula does articulate with another bone?
The glenoid cavity or glenoid fossa of scapula.
Where is the acromion located?
On the scapula, near the glenoid fossa
What is the scapula divided by?
The scapula is divided by acromion, coracoid and Glenoid fossa.
What articulates with the glenoid fossa?
The humerusOn the lateral angle of the scapula is a shallow pyriform, articular surface, the glenoid cavity (or glenoid fossa) of scapulaComes from Greek: gléne, "socket"), which is directed lateralward and forward and articulates with the head of the humerus; it is broader below than above and its vertical diameter is the longest.
What is the process above the glenoid fossa that permits muscle attachment?
coracoid process
What is the proximal attachment of the triceps brachii?
Long (Scapular) Head: Infra-glenoid tubercle at the lateral border of scapula inferior to the glenoid fossa
What is the glenoid fossa of the scapula articulates with?
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.
How many fossas does a scapula have?
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.
