  1. 3. articulates the lateral end of the clavicle with the acromion as it projects anteriorly off the scapula.
  2. 7. made up of the trapezoid and conoid. Its function is to allow complex shoulder movements without the separation of the scapular and clavicle
  3. 9. bone also known as the shoulder blade, wing bone or blade bone.
  4. 12. is a strong triangular band, extending between the coracoid process and the acromion
  5. 14. a prominent plate of bone, which crosses obliquely the medial four-fifths of the dorsal surface of the scapula.
  6. 15. the longest and largest bone of the upper limb.
  7. 16. is a broad band which strengthens the upper part of the capsule. It arises from the lateral border of the coracoid process, and passes obliquely downward and lateralward to the front of the greater tubercle of the humerus
  8. 19. a bone that extended between the sternum and the acromion of the scapula.
  9. 20. is a bony prominence on the inferior surface of the lateral third of the clavicle

  1. 1. serves to reinforce the joint capsule and serves as the primary restraint to posterior translation and posterior axial rotation at the AC joint.
  2. 2. is a ball and socket joint between the scapula and the humerus
  3. 4. located on the scapulars anterior surface and is the attachment site for the subscapularis
  4. 5. is the prominent area of bone at the top of the humerus and is the attachment for the two large, powerful rotator cuff muscles
  5. 6. articulates with the glenoid to form the glenohumeral joint
  6. 8. a synovial saddle joint that is the only true joint which connects the appendicular skeleton of the upper limb with the axial skeleton of the trunk
  7. 10. the point at which the medial and lateral borders of the scapular meet.
  8. 11. made up of 3 ligaments which are important passive stabilisers of the shoulder joint
  9. 13. cavity a shallow, pyriform articular surface, which is located on the lateral angle of the scapula.
  10. 17. is a small projection of the scapula that extends anteriorly from the spine of the scapula
  11. 18. the coracoid process is a hook-shaped bone structure that projects anterolaterally from the superior aspect of the scapular neck
