The proximal surface is the acromion of the scapula while the distal part is the head of the humerus.
It is called the articular surface."Articulate" is to make contact between two or more bones.The surfaces of the bones would be covered by hyaline cartilage.

The scientific name of your shoulder bone is The Scapula
Shoulder replacements are not as common as hip & knee replacements, but they have been performed as and when the situation arises. There is also a highly effective way to relieve joint pain due to injury or deterioration. Similar to the hip joint, the shoulder joint is a ball & socket joint. Shoulder replacement involves either replacing just the head of the ball (humerus bone) or both the ball and socket. It can take months to recover from joint replacement surgery, so you need to plan for post-operative care as well. You will require some amount of assistance, so make sure there is somebody available to help you. It could be a friend, family member, or even a trained nurse. Every individual has a different recovery timeline depending on their specific situation. If you follow your doctor’s instructions well, you should be able to recover completely within a few months. Ranka Hospital, Pune provides treatment and facilities for shoulder replacement.

the best lubricant to reduce friction between two surfaces is to put butter or olive oil on to make the surfaces slippery o
The rotator cuff consists of 4 muscles. They are responsible for providing stability during shoulder-joint movement.
Characteristics ALWAYS associated with synovial joints: synovial fluid, articular cartilage, articular capsule, synovial membrane, capsular ligaments, blood vessels, and sensory nerves. Characteristics SOMETIMES associated with synovial joints: intraarticular disc or mensici, peripheral labrum, fat pads, and synovial plicae
The shoulder girdle is actually the clavicle scapula and top of sternum. The bony process at top of shoulder is the acromion process which connects with the spine of the scapula. The joint between this and the clavicle is known as the AC joint (Acromioclavicular). These bones make up the shoulder girdle
The 'ulnar' articulates on the 'humerus'. The 'radiu's also articulates in the 'humerus'.
There are actually four muscles which make up the shoulder adductors. These muscles include the Pectoralis Major, Coracobrachialis, Latissimus Dorsi, and Teres Major.
No, the knee is not an example of this. The knee is an example of a hinge joint along with your elbow. The hip and shoulder joints are examples of a ball and socket joint as it has movement in all directions. Your knee can only move up and down like the hinge on a door. Hence that is why it is called a hinge joint!
