Is your waist a joint?
Yes and no, there is a joint (or joints as you have two) in your waist line called the sacroiliac joint, where your sacrum meets your ilium. Unless you've studied bones that answer might not help so... The sacrum is a bunch of fused vertebrae at the very end of your spine, its right above your tail bone, and you have an ilium on either your two innominates (which form the body of your pelvis), these ilia are more or less the part of your pelvis that you can see in your hips. Other than that the nearest joint I can think of is the joint made where the femoral head meets the acetabular fossa (the top of your legs, often called the "hip joint"). Hope this helps!
Where on the body is the shank?
shank isn't a part of the body...it means stab.
Is the tailbone in the sacrum?
That is called as coccyx. There are many small vertebrae in this small bone. Some have longer coccyx, making them more like monkey.
What 4 muscles are used to prevent movement of a broken clavicle?
There are actually more than 4 muscles that should be immobilized. When you move your shoulders you move your clavicle. The muscles that causes movement at the shoulder joint should be immobilized. This includes the prime movers, as well as the assistant movers. The following muscles should be immobile. The subclavius which moves and depresses the clavicle as well as helps stabilize the pectoral girdle. The pectoralis minorabduct the scapula and rotates it downward, lowering your shoulders. The serratus anterior abducts the scapula and cause it to rotate upward, shrugging your shoulders. The trapezius stabilizes the scapula as well as move it, and helps extend head. The levator scapulae elevates the scapula and rotates it downward. The rhomboid majorelevates, adducts, rotates downward, and stabilizes the scapula. The Rhomboid minor does the same thing as the Rhomboid major. The pectoralis major adducts and medially rotates the arm at the shoulder joint; flexes arm at the clavicular head and extends the arm to the side of the trunk at the sternocostal head. The deltoid abducts the arm at the shoulder joint; flex and medially rotates the arm at shoulder joint; and extend and laterally rotates the arm at shoulder joint. The subscapularis medially rotates the arm at shoulder joint. The supraspinatus assists the deltoid muscle to abduct the arm at the should joint. The infraspinatuslaterally rotates and abducts the arm at the shoulder joint. The teres major extends the arm at the shoulder joint and assists in the adduction and medial rotation of the arm at the shoulder joint. The teres minor laterally rotates, extends, and adducts the arm at the shoulder joint. The coracobrachialis flexes and adducts the arm at the should joint.
What is the sacroiliac joint?
You have two sacroiliac joints, one on the left side and one on the right side of the back part of the pelvis just below the belt line at the upper area of the buttocks. The sacroiliac joint is where the sacrum (tailbone) connects with the ilium (hip bone) to make a slightly moveable joint. Since the sacroiliac joint is primarily a weight-bearing joint, the two surfaces of bone that come together are basically flat but with slight irregularity to form a bean-shaped joint surface. For this reason only slight sacroiliac joint movement is allowed, thought to be from 2-12 degrees of movement that allows the small side-to-side sway of the pelvis when a person walks.

Describe the location and bony makeup of the sacrum?
The Sacrum is a triangular bone formed by the union, and ossification of the five vestigial vertebrae, classified as S1-S5. The sacrum is located in the posterior portion of the pelvic cavity between the two hip bones (also called Ilium--together making up the sacroiliac joints). The female sacrum is shorter,wider, and more curved between th S2 and S3 segments than the male sacrum, due in part to the birth canal, and a slightly different center of gravity. The sacrum fuses around the age of five years old. The triangular shape is responsible for distributing the weight of the upper body onto each leg. When walking, the surfaces of the sacrum and the ilium move in a "circle eight" pattern known as nutation, that helps the human body to walk more smoothly, decreasing wear and tear throughout the entire spinal column. hope this information will help you. thanks.
Is the shoulder distal to the hips?
The hip joint has a stronger labial rim combined with the ligament and capsule. The ball sits deeper in the socket than the shoulder. Shoulder joints have more range of motion (mobility) but less stability.
