1. Be able to identify and describe the bones and joints of the upper limb including pectoral girdle
2. Analyze each joint of the upper limb, as well as the axial skeleton and know its principal anatomical components, what type of joint it is and what kind of movement it allows for.
3. Know the vocabulary to describe all the different kinds of movements that can occur at the joints of the upper limb
