Match the joints with their corresponding anatomical structures:
Match the joints with their corresponding anatomical structures:
Sternoclavicular joint = Superior sternum (manubrium) with the medial (sternal) end of clavicle Acromioclavicular joint = Acromion process of the scapula with the lateral end of clavicle Coracoclavicular joint = Coracoid process of the scapula with the inferior surface of the clavicle Scapulothoracic joint = Muscles attached to scapula permit its motion with trunk and thorax elevation/depression, protraction/retraction, upward/downward rotation, internal/external rotation, anterior/posterior tipping
Match the joints with their primary functions:
Match the joints with their primary functions:
Sternoclavicular joint = Minimal movement permitted Acromioclavicular joint = Minimal movement permitted Coracoclavicular joint = Minimal movement permitted Scapulothoracic joint = Muscles attached to scapula permit its motion with trunk and thorax elevation/depression, protraction/retraction, upward/downward rotation, internal/external rotation, anterior/posterior tipping
Match the joints with their locations:
Match the joints with their locations:
Sternoclavicular joint = Between superior sternum (manubrium) and medial (sternal) end of clavicle Acromioclavicular joint = Between acromion process of the scapula and lateral end of clavicle Coracoclavicular joint = Between coracoid process of the scapula and inferior surface of the clavicle Scapulothoracic joint = Not a true anatomical joint but permits various motions between scapula and thorax
