Q

acromio-clavicular joint

A
  • the end of the collar bone where it connects to your shoulder.
  • the acromial (lateral end) attaches to shoulder.
  • medial end attaches with the sternum.
  • attachment points for numerous muscles and they act as braces to hold arms out laterally.
  • sternal end is pointier and acromial end is rounder
  • whole thing as called a clavicle
