Pectoral Girdles -

  • Each pectoral girdle consists of two bones: 1 clavicle and 1 scapula.
  • The scapula is a large triangular flat bone situated in the dorsal part of the thorax between the second and seventh ribs.
  • The dorsal, flat, triangular body of the scapula has a slightly elevated ridge called the spine which projects as a flat, expanded process called the acromion.
  • The clavicle articulates with the acromion.
  • Below the acromion is a depression called the glenoid cavity which articulates with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint.
  • Each clavicle is a long slender bone with two curvatures. 
  • This bone is commonly called the collarbone.
