Question
which of the following best describes the glenohumeral joint capsule?
thin, tight, and rigid
thick, lax, and redundant
thin, lax, and redundant
thick, tight, and rigid
Brief Explanations
The glenohumeral (shoulder) joint needs a wide range of motion. Its capsule is structured to enable this: it is thin to not restrict movement, lax (loose) to allow extensive motion, and redundant (has extra folds) so it doesn't tear when the arm is moved to extreme positions.
