Your scapulae are not proximal to the midline of the body. They are lateral to the midline which is marked by the spine. Proximal and distal are used to indicate the position along an arm or leg. If some thing is close to the attachment to the body, that is proximal.

Shoulder girdle bone that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax?
The clavicle is the only shoulder girdle bone that articulates with the sternum.ClavicleThe clavicle is part of the pectoral girdle and its proximal part articulates with the sternum.
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
What bone articulates with the clavicle and the humerus at the shoulder?
The Scapula articulates with the humerus and clavicle to make the shoulder socket.
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 is the clavicle?
It is the collarbone.Also see "what is the function of the clavicle."In human anatomy, the clavicle or collar bone is classified as a flat bone that makes up part of the shoulder girdle (pectoral girdle). It receives its name from the Latin clavicula ("little key") because the bone rotates along its axis like a key when the shoulder is abducted. (This movement is palpable with the opposite hand). In some people, particularly females who may have less fat in this region, the location of the bone is clearly visible as it creates a bulge in the skin.Clavicle is the medical term for collar bone.The bone linking the scapula and the sternum.

Is clavicle distal to umbilicus?
The clavicle is not distal or proximal to the umbilicus. It is superior and lateral.
Is the ulna proximal or distal to the radius in directional position?
The humerus is proximal to the radius. The humerus is the upper arm bone, and the radius is the main bone of the forearm.
Where is the clavicle and what is its job?
The clavicle is the shoulder bone.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.

The Scapula articulates with the humerus and clavicle to make the shoulder socket.
Does the scapulae form the collar bone?
No. the collar bone is the clavicle. The clavicle is the anterior portion of the shoulder girdle. The scapula is the posterior portion of the shoulder girdle.
