Question

Clavicle articulates with____ of scapula.
a. Ball and socket joint
b. Acetabulum cavity
c. Acromion process
d. Glenoid cavity

Answer 1

Hint: The pectoral girdle is found on the upper thorax region. The clavicle bone is the collar bone. The scapula is the long shoulder bone. It is triangular and flat. The bony process on the scapula is called acromion. It extends laterally over the shoulder joint.

Complete answer:
- The clavicle or collarbone is an S-shaped bone that is about six inches long and serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the breastbone.
- The acromio-clavicular joint is formed at the lateral end of the clavicle articulate with the scapula and the acromion.
- The bony process of the scapula that articulates with the clavicle is known as the Acromion process. The acromioclavicular joint is formed by this process. At the acetabulum cavity femur meets with pelvis. The type of synovial joint is found in ball and socket joints. On the lateral angle of the scapula the Glenoid cavity is formed. It is the depression present below the acromion.
- From the above information we have found Clavicle articulates with an acromion process of scapula.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: The clavicle bone is of two types: one on the left and one on the right. It makes up the shoulder girdle together with the shoulder bone. It is a touchable bone in the person who has less fat in this region. It creates a bulge. It is most commonly fractured bone but these can be treated by wearing sling to keep arm and shoulder from moving while the bone heals itself.
