Upper limb 1

Question 1

Pectoral Girdle (2 bones)

Answer 1

Question 2

Function of Pectoral Girdle

Answer 2

Provides attachment for muscles; Provides attachment for the upper limb to the axial skeleton; Provides attachment for the upper limb to the axial skeleton;

Question 3

Clavicle shape

Answer 3

Medial 2/3rds of the clavicle is convex anteriorly Lateral 1/3rd is concave anteriorly

Question 4

Clavicle function

Answer 4

o Important muscle attachment site o Act as braces by holding the scapulae and arms out laterally from the thorax. ▪ This becomes obv when a clavicle is fractured – entire shoulder region collapses medially o Transmit 􀇲compression force􀇳 from the upper limbs to the axial skeleton
