Overview of the Shoulder Girdle and Upper Limb

The bone labeled as the upper arm bone in the diagram is called the (a)  

• Radius
• Ulna
• Humerus
• Scapula

The bones of the forearm are the ​ (a)  

• Humerus and Radius
• Scapula and Clavicle
• Humerus and Ulna
• Radius and Ulna

(a)   is NOT part of the shoulder girdle.

• Clavicle
• Scapula
• Humerus
• Collarbone

The glenoid cavity of the scapula faces laterally, slightly anteriorly, and slightly _______. This shallow socket articulates with the humeral head to form the glenohumeral joint.

Which joint connects the medial end of the clavicle to the manubrium of the sternum and is the only true articulation between the upper limb and the axial skeleton?

The joint that joins the lateral end of the clavicle with the acromion process of the scapula, providing stability to the shoulder complex, is called the (a)   .

• Acromioclavicular Joint
• Glenohumeral Joint
