Describe the shoulder girdle
Incomplete bony ring, formed by clavicle and scapula. Joined anteriorly by manubrium of the sternum
What is this joint and what two bones does it articulate?
Sternoclavicular (SC) sternum and clavicle
What is this joint and what two bones does it articulate?
Acromioclavicular (AC) scapula and clavicle
What is this joint and what two bones does it articulate?
Glenohumeral (shoulder) joint, scapula and humerus
What is this joint, articular surfaces and movments?
*TypeScapulothoracic joint. Not a true joint (pseudo)
* Articular surfaces Scapulothoracic junction: Anterior surface of scapula, superiolateral surface of posterior thoracic wall
* Movements Elevation/Depression, Protraction/Retraction
