Label the clavicle
How to distinguish the sides of the clavicle
- The lateral aspect of a clavicle is flatter than the medial aspect
- The superior surface is smoother than the inferior surface
- The conoid tubercle – attachment for the conoid ligament – is on the inferior aspect of the lateral portion of the clavicle
Which part of the clavicle is weakest and commonly breaks (fractures) during a fall?
Between middle and most lateral thirds of the clavicle (mainly middle 1/3)
Thin and lacks muscle support
Label the Scapula
State Muscles involved in Scapular elevation
Trapezius (Sup fibres)
Levator Scapulae
State Muscles involved in Scapular Depression
Trapezius (inf fibres)
Latismuss Dorsi
Pectoralis Minor

Seratus Anterior
State Muscles involved in Scapular Retreaction
Trapezius
Rhomboids Major and Minor
State Muscles involved in Scapular Lateral Rotation (shrugging shoulders up)
