    Study Notes

    Pectoral Girdle Bones

    • The pectoral girdle consists of the scapulae and clavicles.

    Connection to Axial Skeleton

    • The clavicle is directly attached to the axial skeleton.

    Scapula Mobility

    • The scapula is able to move freely due to the presence of the sternoclavicular joint and the acromioclavicular joint.

    Pectoral Girdle Function

    • The function of the pectoral girdle is to provide a base of attachment for the muscles of the upper limb.

    Bone Identification

    • The clavicle is commonly known as the collarbone.
    • The scapula is commonly known as the shoulder blade.

    Ligaments and Attachments

    • The costoclavicular ligament attaches to the first rib.
    • The coracoclavicular ligament is made up of the trapezoid ligament and the conoid ligament.
    • The supraspinatus muscle attaches to the supraspinous fossa of the scapula.
    • The levator scapulae muscle attaches to the superior angle of the scapula.
    • The rhomboid muscle attaches to the medial border of the scapula.

    Landmarks and Palpation

    • The coracoid process can be located by following the clavicle laterally.
    • The acromion is located on the lateral border of the scapula.
    • The inferior angle of the scapula can be palpated with the patient in a standing position.
    • The triceps brachii muscle can be palpated with the patient in a relaxed position.

    Joints and Articulations

    • The humerus articulates with the scapula at the glenohumeral joint.
    • The clavicle articulates with the acromion of the scapula at the acromioclavicular joint.

    Bone Characteristics

    • The clavicle is a long bone.
