The scapula is particularly challenging because it's a flat bone with multiple views (posterior, anterior, lateral). The pectoral girdle attaches your arms to your axial skeleton.

What to expect: High-quality anatomy content with videos and quizzes. Some content is free; premium subscription available.
Best for: Video learners who want to see bones from multiple angles with expert explanation.
How to use: Search 'scapula anatomy' or 'clavicle anatomy.' Watch videos first, then take quizzes. Free users can access basic content.
Move your shoulder while palpating (feeling) your clavicle and scapula. Shrug your shoulders and feel your scapulae move. This connects bone structures to actual function.
The scapula is the most complex bone this week. Dedicate extra time to understanding its multiple views and how it moves during shoulder motion.
Remember: The scapula has THREE major views to learn. Spend extra time rotating it mentally in 3D space.
Remember: The clavicle is your collarbone - easily palpable from the sternum to your shoulder.
