What's the difference between glenoid and scapula?

Glenoid


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the form of a smooth and shallow depression; socketlike; -- applied to several articular surfaces of bone; as, the glenoid cavity, or fossa, of the scapula, in which the head of the humerus articulates.

  • (19) No correlations were found between any of the radiographic findings (the presence of radiolucent lines about the glenoid or humeral components, humeral subsidence, or ectopic ossification) and any of the clinical findings (pain relief, range of motion, motor power, or functional improvement).
  • (20) Although Tuttle and Basmajian suggest that the cranial orientation of the glenoid fossa in apes has reduced the demand for scapular rotation during arm-raising, subsequent EMG studies on other primate species suggest that these muscles do play a significant role in arm motion during active locomotion.

Scapula


Definition:

  • (n.) The principal bone of the shoulder girdle in mammals; the shoulder blade.
  • (n.) One of the plates from which the arms of a crinoid arise.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) The tendons of insertion of the latissimus dorsi and the teres major muscles and the tendon of origin of the long head of the triceps brachii muscle were united, forming a conjoint tendon that attached to the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula and the lower part of the anatomical neck of the humerus adhering to the articular capsule of the shoulder joint.
  • (4) The shapes of scapulae and basi-occipital bones from three genetically distinct achondroplastic mutants and one osteopetrotic mutant in the mouse (achondroplasia, brachymorphic, stumpy and grey lethal), and appropriate controls, have been compared using Fourier analysis and multivariate statistical techniques.

  • (10) The operation was a modification of Green's procedure; all muscular attachments to the scapula are freed, the omovertebral band is cut, and the scapula is sutured into a pocket in the latissimus dorsi after the scapula has been rotated and moved caudad to a more normal position.
  • (11) The original malrotation of the scapula was corrected initially but usually recurred after two years; however, this did not compromise the large increase in abduction postoperatively.
  • (12) The Teflon graft can be protected from possible salivary fistulae by a dermal graft that is covered by a levator scapulae muscle flap, which is sutured to the prevertebral fascia to separate the carotid vessels from the pharynx, but it is not recommended that the tumor resection be staged to achieve this carotid protection.
