The shoulder girdle (or pectoral girdle) consists of the clavicle (collar bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade)
The Humerus (bone of the upper arm) fits into a cavity in the scapula called the glenoid cavity.
The clavicles ("little keys") are long bones that extend across the top of the chest and are attached to the sternum (breast bone) at their medial (towards the midline of the body) ends. The lateral (towards the outside of the body) ends attach to the scapula.
The scapulae ("spade" or "shovel") are thin triangular flat bones which lie between ribs 2 and 7.
