Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Pectoral girdle

Each half of pectoral girdle consists of a two parts viz., clavicle and a scapula. The scapula is a large triangular flat bone situated in the dorsal part of the thorax between the second and the seventh ribs. The dorsal, flat, a triangular body of scapula has a slightly elevated ridge called the spine, which projects as a flat, expanded process called as the acromion. The clavicle articulates with this. Below the acromion is a depression called as the glenoid cavity, which articulates with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint.
