What type of joint connect the shoulder blade and the collarbone?
Gliding Joint - The joining of two flat bones that slide against one another forms a gliding joint, or plane joint. This type of joint doesn't allow much motion. The connection between your shoulder blade (scapula) and collar bone (clavicle) is a gliding joint.
What two bones are attached to the scapula?
The clavicle (collarbone) and the humerus (upper arm bone) are attached to the scapula (shoulder blade) to form the shoulder joint.

The shoulder is composed of the clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade) and humerus (upper arm bone). The roof of the shoulder is formed the acromion. The shoulder actually has two joints to facilitate its movement.The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is located between the acromion and clavicle. The glenohumeral joint, or shoulder joint, is a ball-and-socket joint where the top of the humerus (the ball) fits into the glenoid cavity of the scapula (the socket). Muscles, tendons, and ligaments hold these bones together. Articular cartilage covers the surface of the shoulder joint, allowing the bones to glide smoothly and protects and cushions the joints.
