Pectoral girdle (scapula + clavicle) and upper limb (phalanges, metacarpals, radius/ulna, humerus)
Formed by clavicle and scapula and is a connection of the upper limb to axial skeleton
Pectoral girdle
Strut between sternum and acromial process of scapular
Clavicle
Movements of the scapula
Elevation/depression + abduction/adduction
