Glenohumeral joint: Structure and actions

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the glenohumeral joint, a synovial ball and socket joint with the greatest range of motion in the body. It covers the joint's components, including the humerus and glenoid cavity, and discusses its flexibility and stability. The tutorial explains the stabilizing structures like the glenoid labrum, joint capsule, and ligaments, and describes the joint's actions such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.
