The clavicle lies in a horizontal oblique plane just _____ the first rib

The lateral aspect of the clavicle is termed the [blank_start]_____[blank_end] extremity and it articulates with the [blank_start]_____[blank_end] of the [blank_start]_____[blank_end]. The medial aspect is termed [blank_start]_____[blank_end] extremity and articulates with the [blank_start]_____[blank_end] of the [blank_start]_____[blank_end] and the first costal cartilage.

The curvature of the clavicles are more acute in males than in females.

The clavicle is classified as what type of bone?

The scapula is classified as what type of bone?

The scapula has [blank_start]_____[blank_end] surfaces, [blank_start]_____[blank_end] borders, and [blank_start]_____[blank_end] angles.

The subscapular fossa is found on which surface of the scapula?

Which of the following are common positioning landmarks for shoulder radiography?

Bursae are small, synovial fluid sacs that relieve pressure and reduce friction in tissue.

What type of joints are the following: Scapulohumeral: [blank_start]_____[blank_end] Acromioclavicular: [blank_start]_____[blank_end] Sternoclavicular: [blank_start]_____[blank_end]

What joint is often referred to as the glenohumeral joint?
