Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The shoulder girdle is composed of the clavicle and the scapula, which articulates with the proximal humerus of the upper limb. Four joints are present in the shoulder: the sternoclavicular (SC), acromioclavicular (AC), and scapulothoracic joints, and glenohumeral joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -The shoulder is extremely mobile and made up of several joints that work together. The scapula, clavicle and humerus are the bones of the shoulder. The glenohumeral joint is the main joint and is more like a golf ball sitting on a tee.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pectoral girdle is made up of two major bones: the clavicle and scapula.

Detailed explanation-4: -The shoulder is made up of three bones: the scapula (shoulder blade), clavicle (collarbone) and humerus (upper arm bone). Two joints in the shoulder allow it to move: the acromioclavicular joint, where the highest point of the scapula (acromion) meets the clavicle, and the glenohumeral joint.

Detailed explanation-5: -Scapula: Another name for this bone is the shoulder blade. Clavicle: This bone is also referred to as the collar bone. Acromion: This bone is a flat projection of the scapula that gives the shoulder its square shape. Coracoid Process: This bone is also a projection of the scapula. More items •02-Aug-2017
