Glenoid tubercles information


Glenoid tubercles

Anatomical terms of bone
[edit on Wikidata]

The glenoid tubercles are two small bony eminences (or tubercles) located above and below the glenoid cavity on the scapula. The glenoid tubercles consist of the supra- and the infraglenoid tubercle. The Latin terms supra and infra meaning above and below respectively refers to the tubercles location in relation to the glenoid cavity. The Latin term glenoid meaning socket or cavity refers to the glenoid cavity.[1]

The glenoid tubercles serves as attachment points for the long heads of the biceps brachii and the triceps brachii muscles.
