The shoulder consists of two anatomical structures; what are they?
Shoulder Girdle and Shoulder Joint
The shoulder girdle consists of what two bones?
Clavicle and Scapula
How is the shoulder joint formed?
Scapula and Humerus
What is the primary function of the shoulder girdle?
To accommodate the movement of the shoulder joint
What is often referred to as the collarbone?
The clavicle
What is the only bony attachment that has a trunk in the upper extremity?
The clavicle
What is the most often fractured bone and why?

Acromial end; Sternal end
What are the superior bony landmarks of the clavicle?
Conoid tubercle and deltoid tubercle
What are the inferior bony landmarks of the clavicle?
Trapezoid line, coastal tuberosity, and the sub clavicle groove
What can be referred to as the shoulder blade?
The scapula
A glenoid fossa can be defined as?
A smooth slightly depressed surface on the scapula

Between the Scapula and humerus
Where can the glenohumeral joint be located at?
On the shoulder joint between the humerus and scapula
Where is the anatomical neck located at?
Between the head of the humerus and the greater/lesser tuberosities
What groove does the greater and lesser tuberosities make?
The intertubercular (bicitipal) groove
What two joints does the shoulder girdle have?
The acromioclavicular (AC) joint and the sternoclavicular (SC) joint
What does the lateral end of the clavicle articulate with?
The acromion and coracoid process of the scapula
The conoid and trapezius ligaments can be referred to as?
A single ligament named coracoclavicular ligament
