Learn about the acromion in Anatomy Lesson #2: “When Claire Meets Jamie” or “How to Fall in Love While Reducing a Dislocated Shoulder Joint!” (wow, that lesson posted a looong time ago!) The acromion forms a stable joint with the clavicle (collar bone) and serves as an attachment site for muscles.
Read about the acromion or point of the shoulder in Dragonfly in Amber book. Gratefully, Diana never fails to provide!

A deeply grateful,
