Hints & Solutions

(c) Glenoid cavity articulates humerus with scapula. The end of the scapula, called the glenoid, meets the head of the humerus to form a glenohumeral cavity that acts as a flexible ball-and-socket joint. The joint is stabilized by a ring of fibrous cartilage surrounding the glenoid, called the labrum.
