Anatomy of the Shoulder Girdle and Glenohumeral Joint - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical illustration displays the anatomy of the shoulder girdle and partial thoracic skeleton. It highlights the clavicle, scapula, humerus, and ribcage, with the humeral head articulating with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral joint, a ball-and-socket joint. The ribs are shown as connected posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae and anteriorly to the sternum via costal cartilages, forming the ribcage. The cervical spine is also visible. The skeletal structures are overlaid with a semi-transparent blue silhouette, representing the surrounding soft tissues of the upper torso.
