Question

(9/22/25) summative assessment assignment: s
the head of the humerus fits into the ________ of the scapula.
○ acromion process
○ coracoid process
○ suprascapula notch
○ glenoid cavity

Explanation:

The head of the humerus bone forms a ball - and - socket joint with the scapula. The socket on the scapula where the head of the humerus fits is called the glenoid cavity. The acromion process is an extension of the scapula that forms part of the shoulder girdle but is not the socket for the humerus. The coracoid process is a projection on the scapula that serves for muscle attachment. The suprascapula notch is a notch in the scapula and not related to the articulation with the humerus.

Answer:

glenoid cavity
