Q1. Where does the glenohumeral joint capsule attach on the scapular side?
- Only to the coracoid process
- Around the margin of the glenoid cavity
- Along the medial border of the scapula
- Only to the acromion
Q2. Where does the glenohumeral joint capsule generally attach on the humeral side?
- At the medial epicondyle
- Around the anatomical neck of the humerus
- Around the surgical neck only
- At the deltoid tuberosity
Q3. Which glenohumeral ligament is particularly important in resisting anterior and inferior displacement when the arm is abducted?
- Coracoclavicular ligament
- Inferior glenohumeral ligament complex
- Transverse scapular ligament
- Coracoacromial ligament
Q4. Which ligament strengthens the superior aspect of the glenohumeral joint capsule by extending from the coracoid process toward the humerus?
- Coracohumeral ligament
- Coracoacromial ligament
- Ulnar collateral ligament
- Acromioclavicular ligament
Q5. Which tendon passes through the glenohumeral joint cavity within a synovial sheath before entering the intertubercular groove?
- Teres major tendon
- Long head of biceps brachii tendon
- Long head of triceps brachii tendon
- Coracobrachialis tendon
Q6. The long head of biceps brachii originates from which region associated with the glenohumeral joint?
- Inferior angle of the scapula
- Infraglenoid tubercle
- Supraglenoid tubercle and superior labrum
- Spine of the scapula
Q7. Which bursa reduces friction between the supraspinatus tendon and the overlying acromion and deltoid?
- Radial bursa
- Prepatellar bursa
- Olecranon bursa
- Subacromial bursa
Q8. Which rotator cuff tendon reinforces the anterior aspect of the glenohumeral joint capsule?
- Teres minor
- Infraspinatus
- Subscapularis
- Supraspinatus
Q9. Which part of the glenohumeral joint capsule is least reinforced by rotator cuff tendons?
- Anterior aspect
- Superior aspect
- Posterior aspect
- Inferior aspect
Q10. Why does the glenohumeral joint have greater mobility but less inherent bony stability than many other joints?
- The capsule is fused to the acromion on all sides
- A large humeral head articulates with a relatively shallow glenoid cavity
- The humeral head is completely enclosed by the glenoid cavity
- The humerus and scapula are connected by a rigid fibrocartilaginous disc
