Bones of the Upper Limb & Shoulder Girdle Flashcards

1
Q

Functions of the Shoulder Girdle?

A
  • Manipulation of environment (not locomotion)
  • Attaches upper limb to axial skeleton
  • Clavicle acts as ‘strut’ (transmits force to axial skeleton/Gives upper arm reach)
  • High mobility, low stability
