Compare the pectoral and pelvic girdles in terms of flexibility allowed?
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.

What skeleton is composed of 126 bones of the appendages and pectoral and pelvic girdles?
The appendicular skeleton is composed of 126 bones, including those of the upper and lower limbs as well as the pectoral and pelvic girdles. These bones are important for movement and provide connections to the axial skeleton.

What descriptive term describe the pectoral?
The pectoral region, commonly referred to as the "chest," includes the pectoral muscles, which are primarily the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. This area is characterized by its role in movement and stability of the shoulder joint, as well as its prominence in upper body strength. The term "pectoral" itself derives from the Latin word "pectus," meaning "breast" or "chest." This region is significant in both anatomical study and physical fitness.
What constitutes of the pectoral girdle?
The pectoral girdle is made up of a left pectoral girdle and a right pectoral girdle. Each set of pectoral girdles has two bones, one clavicle and one scapula. The clavicle bones on both the left and right pectoral girdles are articulated with the sternum. The clavicles are also found on the anterior or front part of the skeleton. The scapula bones on both the left and right pectoral girdles are part of the posterior appendicular skeleton. The scapula bones each articulate with clavicle and the humerus. Your pectorial girdle is located at your shoulder area on your appendicular skeleton. Your upper limb bones are attached to the pectoral (shoulder) girdle. dcart45.
