Shoulder Girdle
Shoulder Girdle
It also includes
Sternoclavicular joint
Acromicoclaviulcar joint
Glenohumeral joint
Scapulothoracic articulation
Shoulder Girdle Joints
Glenohumeral joint- joint where the humerus fits into
the glenoid fossa of the scapula.
Shoulder Girdle Ligaments
Scapulothoracic joint- joint where the scapula slides
over the thorax or rib cage.
Scapula Landmarks
Go to the skeleton, there are numbers on each one,
using your book write the number and the
landmark’s name.
You are going to do this in lab groups so get your
lab binder for this activity.
Scapula Landmarks
Axillary border- lateral side between glenoid fossa
and inferior angle.
Scapula Landmarks
Vertebral border- between superior and inferior
angles medially. Where the rhomboid and serratus
anterior muscles attach.
Scapula Landmarks
Spine of the scapula
Projection on posterior surface running from medial
border to the acromion process.
Scapula Landmarks
Glenoid fossa- slightly concave surface that
articulates with humerus.
Scapula Landmarks
Acromion process-broad flat area on superior
lateral aspect.
Scapula Landmarks
Coracoid process-Projection on anterior surface of
scapula. (e)
Scapula landmarks
Inferior and Superior Angle- superior medial and
inferior point of the scapula.
Shoulder Girdle Bones
Clavicle-S shaped bone that connects upper
extremity to the axial skeleton.
