Ball and socket joint.
What is the difference between the shoulder joint and the shoulder girdle joint?
shoulder gridle is the shoulder complex it consist of 3 joints ie.sternoclavicular jt , acromioclavicular jt, and glenohumeral jt, in shoulder jt there is only glenohumeral jt is considered
What does your shoulder girdle consist of?
I'm assuming it's the clavicle bone which attaches to the sternum on the axial skeleton
What are the names of the 3 shoulder girdle?
The shoulder girdle is actually the clavicle scapula and top of sternum. The bony process at top of shoulder is the acromion process which connects with the spine of the scapula. The joint between this and the clavicle is known as the AC joint (Acromioclavicular). These bones make up the shoulder girdle
What do shoulder girdles consist of?
The shoulder girdle, also known as the pectoral girdle, consists of two main bones: the clavicle (collarbone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). These bones connect the upper limb to the trunk and provide support and mobility for the shoulder joint. The shoulder girdle also includes associated ligaments and muscles that facilitate movement and stability. Together, they play a crucial role in a wide range of arm and shoulder movements.
What is the anterior bone of the shoulder girdle?
The anterior bone of the shoulder girdle is the clavicle, also known as the collarbone. It connects the sternum (breastbone) to the scapula (shoulder blade) and helps to support the shoulder and upper limb.
What plane is elevation of the shoulder girdle?
The plane of elevation of the shoulder girdle is the scapular plane, which is at approximately a 30-degree angle from the frontal plane of the body. This plane is important for proper movement of the shoulder joint and can help reduce impingement and stress on the shoulder muscles and tendons. It is often used as a reference point for exercises and movements involving the shoulder.
The shoulder girdle is made up of the clavicle and what other bone?
The clavical bone connects medially to the sternum and laterally to the acromion of the scapula.
What is the shoulder girdle bone that is unattached to the axial skeleton?
scapula : either of a pair of large triangular bones lying one in each dorsal lateral part of the thorax, being the principal bone of the corresponding half of the shoulder girdle, and articulating with the corresponding clavicle or coracoid -called also shoulder bladeScapula
In what organ system do shoulder belong?
The shoulder belongs to the musculoskeletal system, which comprises bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that provide structure, support, and movement to the body. Specifically, the shoulder involves the bones of the shoulder girdle, muscles that facilitate arm movement, and ligaments that stabilize the joint. This system works in conjunction with the nervous system to control and coordinate movements.
Shoulder girdle bone that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax?
The clavicle is the shoulder girdle bone that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax. It acts as a strut connecting the scapula to the sternum, allowing for movement and stability of the shoulder joint, as well as helping to transfer forces from the upper limb to the axial skeleton.
What is the function of the coracoid process?
The coracoid process serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint. It also provides support and stability to the shoulder girdle during arm movements.
