Can You Name Them?
Joints There are two joints to the shoulder complexjoints The acromioclavicular (AC) joint where the clavicle meets the acromion. The glenohumeral joint or the shoulder joint.
Shoulder Joint Ball and socket joint –Movement in all three planes Glenoid fossa Glenoid labrum Head of humerus
Joint Capsule
Four ligaments are the main source of stability for the shoulder, and help to keep the shoulder from dislocating. 1.Superior glenohumeral ligament 2.Coracohumeral 3.Middle glenohumeral ligament 4.Inferior glenohumeral ligament
Other Ligaments The coracoacromial ligament connects the coracoid process and the acromion process Coracoacromial ligament
coracoacromial
Bursa A bursa is a saclike structure containing lubricating fluid and located between a tendon and a bone or between moving structures.
