glenohumeral joint
The glenohumeral joint is a ball and socket joint that includes a complex, dynamic, articulation between the glenoid of the scapula and the proximal humerus. Specifically, it is the head of the humerus that contacts the glenoid cavity (or fossa) of the scapula.
as well as the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint to form the shoulder joint.

What is the scapular in anatomy?

The scapula or shoulder blade is the bone that connects the clavicle to the humerus. The scapula forms the posterior of the shoulder girdle. It is a sturdy, flat, triangular bone. The scapula provides attachment to several groups of muscles.

What structure is in the scapular region?

The deep 'intrinsic' or true scapular muscles are the deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, teres major, and subscapularis muscle. The deltoid muscle, which has three parts (clavicular, acromial, and spinal), is superior and forms the roundness of the shoulder over the glenohumeral joint.
