32.    Compare the glenohumeral joint to the sternoclavicular joint. Which statement best describes their structural/functional relationship? A. The glenohumeral joint is more stable because it is the only bony attachment to the axial skeleton. B. The sternoclavicular joint is a ball-and-socket joint, making it the most mobile in the body. C.
