Summary Introduction
To write:
The location of foramen magnum and the relative flatness of the human face are related to bipedal stance.
Introduction:
The occipital bone consists of a large opening known as the foramen magnum which accompanies the spinal cord to the cranial cavity and in providing a point of attachment for the dura mater. The occipital bone continues anterior to the foramen magnum as a thick median plate and along each side lays a knob called occipital condyle. These features enables in adapting to bipedalism.

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.
