Artwork featuring bones of human shoulder joint
Artwork featuring bones of the human shoulder joint (right side). The necessary strength of the shoulder joint is provided by the shoulder blade & collar bone. The rear of the joint is supported from the triangular-shaped scapula (the shoulder blade - at right), and the clavicle (collar-bone, top). The slender, curved clavicle articulates laterally with the scapula. The humerus, the bone of the upper arm, articulates with the glenoid cavity in a ball & socket type joint

Bones Humerus Scapula Shoulder Joint
EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate bones of the human shoulder joint, providing a glimpse into the remarkable strength and complexity of our skeletal system. The focal point of this print is the right side of the shoulder joint, where two crucial bones work in harmony to support its necessary functions. The triangular-shaped scapula, commonly known as the shoulder blade, forms an essential foundation for this joint at its rear. Positioned adjacent to it is the clavicle, also referred to as the collar bone, which adds further stability and reinforcement. These slender yet robust bones play a pivotal role in maintaining our upper body's mobility and structural integrity. The clavicle exhibits a graceful curvature that articulates laterally with the scapula, forming a vital connection between these two elements. Meanwhile, at another key junction within this joint lies the humerus -the upper arm bone- which seamlessly fits into the glenoid cavity in a ball-and-socket type arrangement. Through this mesmerizing artwork by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how intricately designed our bodies truly are. It serves as a testament to both artistry and scientific understanding by beautifully capturing these anatomical details while highlighting their significance in supporting human movement and functionality.
