The correct term is girdles not glands i.e pectoral and pelvic girdles.
Pectoral girdle:
-
Consists of clavicle (collar bone) and scapula
-
Scapula is a triangular flat bone with a slightly elevated ridge called the spine, projecting as a flat, expanded process called acromion.
-
Clavicle articulates with acromion.
-
Below acromion, a depression called glenoid cavity is present. Here, humerus articulates to form the shoulder joint.
-
Has 2 coxal bones formed by the fusion of ilium, ischium and pubis
-
Acetabulum is a cavity formed at the point of fusion of these three bones where the thigh bone articulates
-
Two halves of the pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form Pubic Symphysis (contains fibrous cartilage)
