joins the coracoid process of the scapula to the clavicle
sternoclavicular ligament
joins the sternum with the clavicle
coracoacromial ligament
joins the coracoid process to the acromion of the scapula
capsular ligament
Articular capsule - surrounds the head of the humerus and anchors It to the scapula

anterior longitudinal ligament
connects the anterior of vertebral bodies
interspinous ligaments

anterior sacroiliac ligament
posteriorly holds the pelvis to the sacrum
ilioinguinal ligament
holds the ASIS if the ilium to the pubis bone
