The bones of the shoulder?
are the humerus (the upper arm bone), the scapula (the shoulder blade), and the clavicle (the collar bone). The roof of the shoulder is formed by a part of the scapula called the acromion.
The Joints that make up the shoulder?
The main shoulder joint, called the glenohumeral joint, is formed where the ball of the humerus fits into a shallow socket on the scapula. This shallow socket is called the glenoid. The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is where the clavicle meets the acromion
The type of joint that is the shoulder?
The shoulder joint (glenohumeral) is a ball-and-socket joints.
