Pectoral Girdle (Synovial Joints) Anatomy in 3D

Synovial joints of the pectoral girdle facilitate a wide range of upper limb motion, connecting the scapula and clavicle to the humerus and sternum via articular capsules and lubricating synovial fluid. These diarthrotic joints include the glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and scapulothoracic articulations.
