Quick Facts
- The shoulder girdle is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone).
- These bones work together to allow for a wide range of motion in the shoulder joint.
- The clavicle is the only bone in the shoulder girdle that directly connects to the axial skeleton, providing stability and support for the shoulder.
- The scapula is a triangular-shaped bone that glides along the back of the rib cage, helping to move the arm in various directions.
- The humerus attaches to the scapula at the glenoid cavity, forming the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder.
- The shoulder girdle is responsible for connecting the upper limb to the rest of the body, allowing for activities like reaching, lifting, and throwing.
- These bones are held together by a network of ligaments and muscles, providing strength and stability to the shoulder joint.
- Injuries to the bones of the shoulder girdle, such as fractures or dislocations, can result in pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
- Physical therapy and exercises can help strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, improving range of motion and reducing the risk of injury.
- Proper posture and body mechanics are important for maintaining the health and function of the bones in the shoulder girdle.
