The correct option is B False The statement is false.
The shoulder pectoral girdle consists of two flat triangular scapula which lies dorsally on the upper ribs on either side of the vertebral column in the thorax region. Its outer apex bears a large somewhat cup-shaped glenoid cavity into which fits the rounded upper head of the humerus, and close to this joint the shoulder-blade has a small raised part to which a long and curved collar-bone (clavicle) is attached.
