By palpating the hind leg of a cat or dog orexamining a laboratory skeleton, you can see that cats and dogs stand on the heads oftheir metatarsal bones; the calcaneus does not touch the ground. How is this similar to the stance of a woman wearing highheeled shoes? How is it different?
The hand and foot are structurally similar in many ways; they also show clear differences in structure related to their different functions. Describe the structural features of the foot that are clearly related to its weight-bearing and locomotory functions.

- BONES OF THE PECTORAL GIRDLE The two pectoral girdles, right and left, provide attachment sites for muscles of the shoulder and brachium. Each pectoral girdle consists of a scapula, or shoulder blade, and a clavicle, or collar- bone. Clavicle: A slender, double-curved bone that attaches the upper limbs to the axial skeleton. It includes the following features: ● Sternal end: the blunt, medial extremity, which articulates with the manubrium of the sternum. Acromial end: the slightly flattened lateral extremity, which articulates with the acro- mion of the scapula. Scapula: A triangular bone with projections for muscle attachment. It contains many features, which include: Spine: the narrow ridge on the posterior side. Acromion: a flattened, prominent process at the lateral end of the spine. = Coracoid process: a beak-like process superior and medial to the glenoid cavity (corac = crow + -oid = resemblance to).
