Acromioclavicular & glenohumeral joints

Product code: HP1001

Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.

The acromioclavicular and glenohumeral joints are involved in movement of the pectoral girdle and upper limb: movement essential for daily tasks such as feeding, object manipulation, non-verbal communication, and self-care. Due to relatively limited constraining forces at the shoulder joint, stability is sacrificed for mobility. This Silicone Plastinate enables the structure, articulation (part) and alignment of the acromioclavicular and glenohumeral joints to be visualized and explored alongside their joint capsules and associated ligaments, and the bones of the pectoral girdle.
