Most of the shoulder girdle muscles insert on the scapula.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks whether most of the shoulder girdle muscles insert on the scapula. 
Option 1: True. This is generally accurate because the primary muscles that move the shoulder girdle—such as the trapezius, serratus anterior, rhomboids, levator scapulae, and pectoralis minor—tend to attach to the scapula (or to structures closely associated with it, like the coracoid process or the medial/vertebral border). Even when a muscle like trapezius also has insertions on the clavicle, its scapular attachments are still substantial, and the overall role of these muscles is to move and stabilize the scapula rather than the humerus directly. In exam-style framing, saying most shoulder girdle muscles insert on the scapula aligns with standard anatomical categorization of these muscles as scapulothoracic movers. 
Option 2: False. This would be incorrect because, although some shoulder girdle muscles insert on the clavicle or other nearby bones, the majority of the primary shoulder girdle muscles do insert on the scapula or on its processes, supporting the scapulothoracic joint. The statement oversimplifies the insertion patterns and ignores the common attachments to the scapula that define the group. 
Option 1 analysis summary: the conclusion that most shoulder girdle muscles insert on the scapula fits with the common teaching that those muscles primarily control scapular motion and stabilization, even if a few have secondary attachments elsewhere. 
Option 2 analysis summary: labeling the statement as false overlooks the predominant pattern of scapular insertions and incorrectly implies scapular attachments are uncommon among these muscles.
