Pectoral girdle or shoulder girdle is composed of two separate halves. Each half consists of the scapula of shoulder bone, coracoid process and clavicle or collar bone. At the junction of scapula and clavicle, is a concave depression, called glenoid cavity, which articulates with the head of the humerus to form a ball and socket joint.
