The ________ is the smooth, triangular surface where the anterior surface of the scapula faces the ribs.&#10;A) glenoid cavity&#10;B) supraspinous fossa&#10;C) subscapular fossa&#10;D) infraspinous fossa

Accepted Answer

The subscapular fossa is the smooth, triangular surface on the anterior surface of the scapula that faces the ribs. The glenoid cavity is the shallow depression on the lateral side of the scapula that articulates with the humerus. The supraspinous fossa and infraspinous fossa are fossae on the posterior surface of the scapula.

Question 2

Where does the humerus articulate on the pectoral girdle?&#10;A) sternoclavicular joint&#10;B) coracoid process&#10;C) glenoid cavity&#10;D) acromioclavicular joint

The humerus articulates with the pectoral girdle at the glenoid cavity of the scapula, forming the glenohumeral joint. The sternoclavicular joint is where the clavicle articulates with the sternum. The coracoid process is a part of the scapula that provides attachment for muscles and ligaments. The acromioclavicular joint is where the clavicle articulates with the acromion process of the scapula.
