Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Glenoid cavity articulates humerus with scapula. It is a feature on the scapula (shoulder blade or shoulder bone). It is slightly concave from above downwards and from side to side. It is shallow and a site of attachment of glenoid labrum (glenoid ligament), which forms fibrocartilaginous rim around the glenoid cavity. It is important because it has the effect of deepening the socket into which head of humerous (bone) rests, forming the shoulder joint). It represents a type of synovial, ball and socket joint.
