ANTH 414 – Human Osteology Name: ____________________ September 19, 2008 1 Lab 5 Shoulder Girdle Exercises to Complete: 1. The shoulder girdle has some rather tricky articulations, since you have to imagine it in three dimensions. List or draw the ways in which the scapula and clavicle articulate with one another and with other bones (it’s a good idea to know/label the bony features). 2. How would you be able to side a broken clavicle? Check through the SBI and study materials to find pieces for practice. 3. The scapular body is very thin and prone to breakage in the ground. The glenoid fossa and the acromion process, however, are often recovered. If you just had one of these pieces, how could you side the bone? 4. What bones might the scapula and clavicle be confused with? What features will help you distinguish whether or not the bone is a scapula or clavicle? 5. Critical Thinking. The clavicle is often broken in contact sports, and it was often broken in past populations as well. What effects do you think a severe break in this bone would have on a person’s range of motion if there were no technology to set the bone? Vocabulary Review: 1. The conoid tubercle is found on the __________________ end of the clavicle. 2. __________________ is the broad, rough surface that anchors the costoclavicular ligament. 3. To side a clavicle, the flatter acromial end points ____________________. 4. The ________________ groove lies along the posteroinferior quadrant of the midshaft. 5. The rough surface of the clavicle is _________________, while the smoother surface is __________________.
