Card 11 / 37: Watch this video ( http://openstaxcollege.org/l/shoulderjoint2 ) to learn about the anatomy of the shoulder joint, including bones, joints, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. What is the shape of the glenoid labrum in crosssection, and what is the importance of this shape?
Answer:
The glenoid labrum is wedge-shaped in cross-section. This is important because it creates an elevated rim around the glenoid cavity, which creates a deeper socket for the head of the humerus to fit into.
