Clavicle (collar bone) and Scapula (shoulder blade).
Bone that attaches the upper limb to the axial skeleton at the manubrium of the sternum.
Clavicle.
The socket on the lateral scapula that articulates with the head of the humerus.
Glenoid Cavity.
Posterior ridge on the scapula
Scapular Spine.

Olecranon Fossa.
Distal medial surface of the humerus that articulates with the ulna.
Trochlea.
Distal lateral surface of the humerus that articulates with the radius.
Capitulum.
The lower arm bone on the pinky-finger side; forms the main part of the elbow joint.
Ulna.
