079 The Ligaments of the Glenohumeral Joint

Leslie Samuel introduces the ligaments of the glenohumeral joint, explaining their roles in joint stability. The video covers the capsular, coracohumeral, coracoacromial, and transverse humeral ligaments, detailing their anatomical positions and functions. The video concludes with a brief review and directs viewers to additional resources for further learning.

What is the primary function of the ligaments in the glenohumeral joint?

• To hold the joint together

• To produce synovial fluid

• To generate movement

Which ligament is known for supporting both the anterior and posterior aspects of the glenohumeral joint?

• Coracohumeral ligament

• Coracoacromial ligament

• Transverse humeral ligament

• Glenohumeral (capsular) ligament

The coracohumeral ligament connects which two structures?

• Coracoid process and acromion process

• Coracoid process and humerus

• Greater tubercle and lesser tubercle

• Scapula and clavicle

Which ligament extends between the greater and lesser tubercle of the humerus?

• Coracoacromial ligament

• Coracohumeral ligament
