Study Notes
Pectoral Girdle
- The pectoral girdle consists of the scapula and clavicle bones.
Scapula Movement
- The scapula is able to move freely due to the sternoclavicular joint.
Clavicle Development
- The clavicle ossifies through intramembranous ossification, meaning it forms directly from mesenchymal tissue.
Attachment of Upper Limb
- The scapula attaches to the trunk directly through the sternoclavicular joint.
Scapula-Acromion Articulation
- The acromion of the scapula articulates with the clavicle bone.
