note that in this ontology 'glenoid fossa' is a cavity (consistent with FMA) - consider adding a class for the surface of the scapula that is adjacent to this cavity, and making a more explicit connects relationship
in FMA, this is part of the bony pectoral girdle, alongside the skeleton of pectoral girdle
