Understanding Shoulder Anatomy and Function

The shoulder is a highly flexible ball-and-socket joint comprising three primary bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collarbone). This joint allows for a wide range of motion, enabling actions such as lifting, pushing, and pulling. The rotator cuff, a group of four muscles and their tendons, stabilizes the shoulder by covering the head of the humerus and attaching it to the scapula. This intricate structure facilitates both strength and flexibility, making the shoulder susceptible to various injuries and conditions.
