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.

What is the origin and insertion point for the deltoids?

The deltoid is very interesting muscle. It arise from the outer and lateral border of the clavicle and outer and lateral border of the spine of the scapula. From the corresponding inner border, you have insertion of the trapezius muscle. The deltoid muscle is inserted on the deltoid tuberosity on the lateral and middle part of the humerus bone. So it looks that the trapezius muscle continue as the deltoid muscle.
