The glenoid cavity is found in the upper body, where the humerus joins the scapulaand is referred to as the shoulder socket. It is not very deep and allows for a great range of motion.

The acetabulum is in the lower body, where the ilium joins the femur. It is a deep socket and is very secure for the support and ability to bear the weight of our bodies
