Question 1
What type of joint is the glenohumeral joint?
Question 2
Which structural feature allows the joint capsule to be flexible but increases the risk of dislocation inferiorly?
Question 3
Which ligament connects the coracoid process to the humerus?
Question 4
What view demonstrates flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial, and lateral rotation?
Question 5
What action is described by the arm moving forward?
Question 6
Which movement involves the arm moving away from the midline?
Question 7
Which ligament prevents upward dislocation of the humerus?
Question 8
What structure connects the coracoid process to the clavicle, anchoring the clavicle but facilitating articulation with the scapula?
Question 9
What is the functional effect of the glenoid labrum increasing the depth of the glenoid cavity by about 50%?
Question 10
What structure acts like a bowl to stabilize the humeral head in the glenoid cavity?
Question 11
What function does the intracapsular negative pressure within the joint capsule serve?
Question 12
Which ligament helps stabilize the humeral head by connecting it to the coracoid process?
Question 13
What is the main implication of only one-third of the humeral head articulating with the glenoid cavity at a time?
Question 14
Which movement type describes the humerus rotating medially?
Question 15
