3. Joints of shoulder girdle Sternoclavicular joint Acromioclavicular joint

4. Sternoclavicular joint Class - synovial joint Axis - poly axial Variety - saddle shaped Bones - medial end of clavicle articulates with the manubrium and 1 st costal cartilage . Ligaments Fibrous capsule . Anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligament . Costoclavicular ligament.

5. Acromio clavicular joint Class - synovial joint Axis - non axial Variety - plane Bones - lateral end of clavicle articulates with acromion process of scapula . Ligaments Acromio clavicular ligament associated with the movement of scapula .

6. Movements: Elevation and depression of scapula Protraction and retraction of scapula Forward and backward rotation of scapula

7. Shoulder joint ( gleno humeral joint ) Class - synovial joint Axis - poly axial Variety - ball and socket joint Bones - head of humerus articulate with glenoid cavity of scapula .

8. Ligaments : Fibrous capsule . Gleno humeral ligament . Transverse humeral ligament . Glenoid labrum . Coracohumeral ligament . Corocoacromial arch . Blood supply Anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries

9. Nerve supply: Axillary nerve Supra scapular nerve Lateral pectoral nerve Movements : Flexion and extension Addiction and abduction Medial and lateral rotation circumduction

10. Applied anatomy Dislocation of shoulder Frozen shoulder

11. Elbow joint Class - synovial joint Axis - uniaxial Variety - hinge Bones - the lower end of humerus have trochlea and capitulum , trochlear of the humerus articulate with trochlear notch of ulna and capitulum with upper surface of the head of the radius

12. Ligaments: Fibrous capsule Ulnar collateral ligament Radial collateral ligament Blood supply: The anastamosis of branches of brachial , ulnar , radial, and profunda brachii arteries . Nerve supply: Branches of musculocutaneous nerve Radial nerve Ulnar nerve

13. Movements: Flexion and extension Applied anatomy: tennis elbow Golfers elbow Carrying angle elbow
