The clavicle. This bone is normally not consideredto be part of the shoulder an instead a part of the thorax, which is also true. The reason it is part of the shoulder is that it joint part of the scapula to form the soked of the glenohumeral joint.
What else can I help you with?
The shoulder is to the sternum?
Yes, and the sternum is medial to the shoulder.
What muscle attaches to sternum?
Intercoastals
What is the structure that attaches the ribs to the sternum?
The structure that attaches the ribs to the sternum is called the costal cartilage. It is a strip of hyaline cartilage that connects the bony rib to the sternum, allowing for flexibility and movement during breathing.
What rib type attaches to the sternum by individual coastal cartilages?
Yes it does.
What muscle attaches to the sternum?
intercoastals (body of sternum), Sternalis (manubrium of sternum), Sternocleidomastoid (manubrium of sternum), Pectoralis Major (body of sternum)
What does your shoulder girdle consist of?
I'm assuming it's the clavicle bone which attaches to the sternum on the axial skeleton
The cartilage that attaches the ribs to the sternum is called the?
costal cartillage
What is the the rib that attaches to the sternum by the cartilage of rib 7?
floating rib
Body part that starts with an s?
Shoulder, Shin, Sternum, Sole, Socket,
A rib that attaches to the sternum by the cartilage of rib 7 has what name?
The rib that attaches to the sternum by the cartilage of rib 7 is called the "7th costal cartilage" or "costal cartilage of the 7th rib."
What does the clavicle join the sternum to?
This question doesn't really make sense... The clavicle is the collarbone. The sternum - usually people are referring to the manubrium when talking about the sternum - is the hard bone that looks like the body of a necktie protecting your heart in the front of the body. The ribs attach to the sternum in front, to the spine in back. The clavicle attaches to the sternum at the notch at the base of your neck. When you protract the shoulders (hunch them forward), the notch is more pronounced for ease of location. In fact, the sternoclavicular joint is the only skeletal attachment of the shoulder complex. So really, the clavicle doesn't join the sternum to anything. The clavicle is joined to the sternum, giving the shoulder girdle it's one attachment to the axial skeleton.
What is the purpose of the xiphoid process?
The function of the xiphoid process is to attach the cartilage in the celiac plexus to the sternum. It also indirectly attaches the costal cartilage to the sternum.
