Where does the shoulder girdle attach to the axial skeleton?
It is attached on its medial end to the sternum of the thoracic cage, which is part of the axial skeleton. The lateral end of the clavicle articulates (joins) with the scapula just above the shoulder joint.
Does the shoulder girdle connect to the axial skeleton?
The clavicle or collarbone is an S-shaped bone situated at the front of your body in a horizontal position. Your clavicle provides the only direct connection between your pectoral girdle and axial skeleton.
Does the shoulder girdle attach to the axial skeleton in 3 places?
The bones that attach each upper limb to the axial skeleton form the pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle). It is attached on its medial end to the sternum of the thoracic cage, which is part of the axial skeleton. The lateral end of the clavicle articulates (joins) with the scapula just above the shoulder joint.
What are the bones of the shoulder girdle?
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.
What is the bone that connects the upper arm bone with the collar bone called?
Scapula is the bone that connects the upper arm bone with the collarbone. It is a flat bone and roughly triangular in shape and provides attachment to the muscles of back and neck. The clavicle is an S-shaped short bone that connects the shoulder girdle to the body (trunk).
What bones form the shoulder girdle?
The shoulder girdle consists of three bones (clavicle, scapula, and humerus) and three joints (sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and glenohumeral) as shown in Fig.
Which one of the following is not a bone of axial skeleton?
The E) pelvic girdle is not part of the axial skeleton. This is part of the lower limbs, according to common practice.

What 3 bones make up the shoulder girdle and how is it linked to the axial skeleton?
In humans it consists of the clavicle and scapula; in those species with three bones in the shoulder, it consists of the clavicle, scapula, and coracoid….

Which bone does the pectoral girdles not articulate?
THE PECTORAL GIRDLES DO NOT ARTICULATE WITH THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN AND ARE HELD IN POSITION AND STABILIZED BY A GROUP OF LARGE MUSCLES THAT EXTEND FROM THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN AND RIBS TO THE SCAPULA. The shoulder girdle is very light and allows the upper limb to have free movement.
Which of the following bones is not part of the pelvic girdle?
The correct answer is Incus.
How many bones are found in the shoulder girdle?
The shoulder girdle is four bones, two collar bones (clavicle) and two shoulder blades (scapula). These four bones make up the shoulder girdle as well as the shoulder socket. The shoulder girdle ideally hangs from the head suspended over the rib cage without either the collar bones or scapula touching the ribs.
What bones make up the shoulder girdle?
The pectoral girdle consists of the two bones that make up your shoulder: clavicle, or collarbone. scapula, or shoulder blade.
What is the function of the shoulder girdle?
The shoulder is not a single joint, but a complex arrangement of bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons that is better called the shoulder girdle. The primary function of the shoulder girdle is to give strength and range of motion to the arm. The shoulder girdle includes three bones—the scapula , clavicle and humerus.
What are the bones are called in the shoulder girdle?
The clavicle is the bone in the shoulder girdle that is often referred to as the collarbone. It is a curved bone that connects the upper extremity (arm) to the body (the trunk), and provides several attachment sites for muscles and ligaments.
