Q

How does the shoulder incorporate different joints in movements

A

the shoulder plays an integral part of the shoulder girdle, incorporating the sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular (both gliding) joints. All muscles of the neck and upper torso which attach the scapula and clavicle are involved of shoulder movements.
