The acromium is a region of your shoulder blade. The clavicle is your collarbone. Where the two articulate or form a joint is the acromioclavicular joint. You can palpate this by following your collarbone towards your shoulder until you feel a notch. That is pretty much putting your fingers right on that joint.
The term "acromial" is derived from the Latin word "acromion," which refers to the bony process on the scapula. "Extremity" simply means the outermost or farthest point. So, the "acromial extremity of the clavicle" refers to the end of the clavicle bone that articulates with the acromion process of the scapula.
The acromial end of the clavicle articulates with acromion of the scapula to form the acromioclavicular joint.Acromion process, in acromioclavicular joint
The bony landmarks of the clavicle include the acromial end (which articulates with the acromion of the scapula), the sternal end (which articulates with the sternum), and the conoid tubercle and trapezoid line (which serve as attachment sites for ligaments).
The clavicle is said to follow a sinuous curve because of its S-shaped structure, with two gentle curves at the sternal and acromial ends. This shape allows the clavicle to effectively transfer forces from the arm to the central part of the body while providing flexibility and mobility to the shoulder joint.
The bones that articulate with the clavicle are the manubrium of the sternal end, and the acromion of the scapula.

Yes, the acromial region is inferior to the thoracic region. The acromial region is located on the shoulder, specifically at the lateral end of the spine of the scapula. The thoracic region refers to the chest area, which is above the shoulder region.
The bones that articulate with the clavicle are the manubrium of the sternal end, and the acromion of the scapula.
The sternoclavicular joint is formed by the medial end of the clavicle and the sternum, while the acromioclavicular joint is formed by the lateral end of the clavicle and the acromion process of the scapula.
Its not actually the shoulder your grabbing. You grab underneath the acromial (clavicle bone) and there is a pressure point there. You can press it hard enough so they pass out but not fall asleep.
The acromion process of the scapula articulates with the lateral end of the clavicle. This joint is called the acromioclavicular joint.
