The humerus articulates with what bone marking of the scapula?
Question:
The humerus articulates with what bone marking of the scapula?
The Shoulder:
The shoulder is composed of the scapula and humerus and is classified as a "ball and socket" joint. This joint is freely movable on all three planes and is held together by many ligaments and muscles.
Answer and Explanation: 1
The humerus articulates with the scapula at the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The glenoid fossa is a smooth shallow depression that accommodates the head of the humerus.
