The pectoral girdle is the set of bones which connect the upper limb to the axial skeleton on each side. It consists of the clavicle and scapula.
The only joints between shoulder girdle and axial skeleton are the sternoclavicular joints on each side. No joint exists between each clavicle and the thorax, instead the muscular connection between the two permits relatively great mobility of the shoulder girdle in relation to the pelvic girdle.
