Shoulder joint is a very special type of joint. In this scapula bone is not attached to thorax by any bony attachment, except through clavicle bone. Here The medial border of scapula is pushed inside the sheet of muscle. You call them rhomboid-us major and minor on one hand and serratus anterior on other hand. The trapezius and deltoid muscles are interrupted by acromial process of scapula. So that way shoulder has only single bony attachment with the trunk.

What attaches the arm to the body?
The wrist and the shoulder can be considered attachment areas of the arm. The arm is attached to - the neck at the shoulder - the torso (chest, back) at the sides of the shoulder and the armpit - the hand at the wrist
Which two large scapular processes are associated with the shoulder joint?
The two large scapular processes associated with the shoulder joint are the acromion and the coracoid process. The acromion extends laterally from the scapula and forms the highest point of the shoulder, serving as an attachment for the clavicle and various shoulder muscles. The coracoid process, located anteriorly, serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments that stabilize the shoulder joint. Both processes play crucial roles in shoulder mobility and stability.
What are violin attachments?
a shoulder rest is an attachment
Is shoulder is superior to the elbow?
It would seem that it would be called that but when dealing with the arms and legs, the positional anatomy only involves the attachment to the body. We use proximal and distal and not inferior and superior. The point of attachment (POT) is the shoulder joint. Since the elbow is further away from the POT, is said to be distal. And the shoulder joint is proximal to the elbow. You must always use two things to compare. In this case the elbow and the shoulder.
The tip of the shoulder is due to the?
The tip of the shoulder is due to the acromion process, which is part of the scapula (shoulder blade). It forms the bony tip of the shoulder and provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize the shoulder joint.
What muscle has an attachment on the superior facet of greater tubercle of humerus?
The supraspinatus muscle has an attachment on the superior facet of the greater tubercle of the humerus. It plays a key role in initiating shoulder abduction and stabilizing the shoulder joint.
Is the wrist considered distal to the shoulder?
Distal is away from the center of body trunk or point of attachment. The wrist is farther away from center of body trunk. Proximal is closest to the body central axis or point of attachment, so the shoulder is proximal.
What is Between the scapulae?
Between the scapulae refers to the space located between the two shoulder blades or shoulder bones. This area is part of the upper back and is important for the attachment of various muscles that help with shoulder movement and stability. It is also a common area for muscle tension and trigger points.
A body part attached to the arm?
Your Shoulder and your Hand are connected to your arm on opposite ends.
The scapulae and the clavicles together form the?
shoulder girdle, which provides attachment points for the muscles that move the arms and shoulders.
What shoulder bones which are the points of attachment that dont move are called the insertions?
its true i just toke a test on this
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
