Answer 1

Clavicle, humerus and scapula.

Shoulder joint also known as glenohumeral joint belongs to class of ball and socket joints(freely moveable joints). It constitutes three major bones which are as follows:

• Clavicle `to` collar bone
  It's the mere long bone that like horizontally it connects scapula to the sternum(breast bone).

• Humerus
  It is one of the longest bones of the body. It makes forearm and extends from shoulder to elbow.

• Scapula `to` shoulder blade
  Scapula is triangular-shaped flat bone. It connects with humerus to form shoulder joint. It also connects with clavicle to form acromioclavicular joint.
