Answer:

On the lateral border of the scapula is a shallow pyriform, articular surface, the glenoid cavity, 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.Strong glenohumeral ligaments and muscles prevents dislocation in most cases. By being so shallow the glenoid cavity allows the shoulder joint to have the greatest mobility of all joints in the body, allowing 120 degrees of unassisted flexion.The glenoid cavity is a structural feature on the scapula bone (also known as the shoulder blade or shoulder bone)and acetabulum is the socketof the hip bone,into which the head of the femur fits..

Answer:

the glenoid cavity, which articulates with the head of the bone of the upper arm, the humerus, to form the shoulder joint. Overhanging the glenoid cavity is a beaklike projection, the coracoid process, which completes the shoulder socket.
