mandibular fossa vs glenoid fossa

Both "mandibular fossa" and "glenoid fossa" are correct anatomical terms, but they refer to different structures in the body. The mandibular fossa is a depression in the temporal bone of the skull where the mandible (lower jaw) articulates, while the glenoid fossa is a shallow cavity in the scapula (shoulder blade) where the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) articulates.
