the pectoral has a shallow socket while the pelvic has a deep, secure socket. both for limb attachment.
The pectoral girdle is an incomplete ring because it is open in the back between the scapulae.

Flexibility: pectoral girdle is more flexible-less ligaments, ball and socket joint is shallower Security: pelvic girdle is more secure, deeper socket. there are more dislocated shoulders than dislocated hips ability to bear weight: pelvic girdle can bear more weight-the pelvic girdle has bones that are fused (os coxa) and a joint with the sacrum. the pectoral girdle has a little bone called the clavicle connecting it to the body wall.
pectoral girdle
The scientific name for the shoulder girdle is "pectoral girdle." It is the set of bones that connect the upper limbs to the axial skeleton.
Pectoral Girdle
the scapula (shoulder blade) and the clavicle (collarbone) make up the pectoral girdle. Each upper limb articulates with the trunk at the pectoral girdle, or shoulder girdle The pectoral girdle consists of two broar, flat scapulae and the two slender, curved clavicles. Each clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum; these are the only direct connections between the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton. Skeletal muscles support and position each scapula, which has no bony or ligamentous connections to the thoracic cage.
of front side pectoral girdle is connected with bone of chest while on the back side it is connected with vertebral column through muscles.

the clavicle
No - the pectoral girdle refers to the shoulders. The two bones that make up the pectoral girdle are the scapula and clavicle.
Yes, the scapular girdle is the same as the pectoral girdle, they both refers exactly to the same anatomical components. Please see Dorland's Medical Dictionary--both terms refers to the "cingulum pectorale."Hope this helps.Tony Palomo
A collection of cartilaginous elements that support the paired pectoral fins.
The movable pectoral girdle bones are the scapulae and the clavicles. These bones must have a range of movement in order to allow the upper body to function properly.
