Why are the bones of the pelvic girdle larger than the bones of the pectoral girdle?

The pelvic girdle supports more weight and pressure due to the upper body resting on it while standing and moving. It also provides protection for internal reproductive organs. Additionally, the pelvic girdle is involved in weight-bearing activities such as walking and running, requiring larger and stronger bones for stability and support.

What is the posterior portion of 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.
