SHOULDER GIRDLE


ACROMIAN PROCESS

This attaches the scapula to the shoulder girdle, the acromian process attaches to the spine of the scapula to help create simultaneous movement in both bones.

GLENOID CAVITY

This is the cavity in which makes up the glenohumeral joint, this is the attachment of the glenoid cavity and the humerus (upper arm).

CLAVICLE

Aka the collarbone, this attaches the shoulder girdle to the manubrium of the sternum. It also attaches to the acromian process thus causing the joint to be named 'Acromioclavicular' joint.

CARACOID PROCESS

A little hook like process which attaches onto the lateral edge of the scapula.
