The shoulder girdle, also known as the pectoral girdle, consists of two main bones: the clavicle (collarbone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). These bones connect the upper limb to the trunk and provide support and mobility for the shoulder joint. The shoulder girdle also includes associated ligaments and muscles that facilitate movement and stability. Together, they play a crucial role in a wide range of arm and shoulder movements.
