Collar bone
Clavicle
Shape of the clavicle
S-shape
First bone to ossify
Clavicle
Strut allowing the limb to move freely from the trunk
Clavicle
Bone that absorbs force from upper extremity
Clavicle
Joint of sternum and clavicle
sternoclavicular joint
Articulations of the clavicle
Medially: costal cartilage and sternum
Laterally: acromion process of scapula
Shape of sternal extremity of clavicle
Convex
Shape of acromial extremity of clavicle
Concave
Sternoclavicular joint type
Saddle joint (flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, circumduction)
Attachment of clavicle and sternum
clavicular notch
Most commonly fractured bone
clavicle
Smoother side of clavicle
anterior side
Rougher side of clavicle
posterior side (attachment of muscles and ligaments)
Attachment of conoid and trapezoid ligament
Conoid and trapezoid tubercle of clavicle
Where subclavian vessels pass through
Subclavian groove of clavicle
Attachment of costal tuberosity of clavicle
first rib
Shoulder bone or shoulder blade
scapula
Component of appendicular skeleton
Upper limb
Location of clavicle
between sternum and scapula, across root of the neck
Flat and triangular in shape
Scapula
Level of sup. angle of scapula
T2

T3
3 angles of scapula
superior, inferior, lateral
3 borders of scapula
superior, medial/vertebral, lateral/axillary
3 large bony processes of scapula
spine, acromion, coracoid
2 surfaces of scapula
dorsal and ventral/costal
concave surface of scapula
ventral/costal
subscapular fossa
ventral/costal
division of supraspinous and infraspinous fossa
spine of scapula
free lateral end of spine articulating with clavicle
acromion
found above glenoid cavity for attachment of muscles and ligaments
coracoid process
medial to base of coracoid process
suprascapular notch
glenoid cavity
pear shape and articulates with the humeral head, superolateral angle of scapula
origin of long head of biceps
supraglenoid tubercle
origin of long head of triceps
infraglenoid tubercle
