SHOULDER JOINT

=Ox.=—The articular angle is about 100°.

=Pig and Dog.=—The joint capsule communicates freely with the bicipital

bursa. There is a rudimentary marginal cartilage around the rim of the

glenoid cavity. In the dog there is usually a strong band extending from

the acromion to the outer part of the capsule; another band (Ligamentum

coraco-acromiale) often stretches between the scapular tuberosity and

the acromion.
