To take upon the shoulder or shoulders; as, to shoulder a basket; hence, to assume the burden or responsibility of; as, to shoulder blame; to shoulder a debt.

The top section of the fore leg, extending from the withers above to the elbow, including the upper arm. The true shoulder region's bony component is the shoulder blade (scapula).

Scapula; also used (incorrectly) to refer to both the scapula and upper arm (humerus) region.

The ball-and-socket joint connecting the arm with the body.

(joint, ridge, flange): Formed when a text block is backed. During this process the outermost leaves on both sides are bent out at 45 degrees along the binding edge. The ridge that is formed by this process, on either side of the spine, is the shoulder.

A structure made up of two main bones: the scapula ( shoulder blade) and the humerus (the long bone of the upper arm). The end of the scapula, called the glenoid, is a socket into which the head of the humerus fits, forming a flexible ball-and-socket joint. The scapula is an unusually shaped bone. It extends up and around the shoulder joint at the rear to create a roof called the acromion and around the shoulder joint at the front to constitute the coracoid process. The shoulder joint is cushioned by cartilage that covers the face of the glenoid socket and the head of the humerus. The joint is stabilized by a ring of fibrous cartilage around the glenoid socket that is called the labrum. Ligaments connect the bones of the shoulder and tendons join these bones to surrounding muscles. The biceps tendon attaches the biceps muscle to the shoulder and helps stabilize the joint. Four short muscles that originate on the scapula pass around the shoulder where their tendons fuse together to form the rotator cuff.

See joint.

The uppermost joint of the foreleg, connecting it with the body.

Area located at the base of the neck, formed by the scapula and the humerus. The angle of the shoulder usually is the same as that of the foreleg pastern. The more "laid back" the shoulder is, the further out the forelegs can reach, producing an even, rhythmic motion. The heavily muscled shoulder area is one of two regions on the horse's body (the other being the hindquarters) that a jockey is permitted to touch with a whip.

This is a ball and socket joint, without "weight bearing", formed by the distal clavicle, the scapula, and the proximal humerus. image image image image Shoulder Anatomy Shoulder Position Shoulder Dislocation

In human anatomy, the shoulder comprises the part of the body where the arm attaches to the torso. It is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The articulations between the bones of the shoulder make up the shoulder joints.

Outer edges of tire tread.

The edge of a tire's tread where it joins the sidewall.

Outer edges of the tread area.

The area of a tire where the tread and sidewall meet.

Out edges of tread.

The portion of the tire between the bead and the tread. It is flexible to soak up bumps yet stiff to limit tire rollover.

The section of a tire where the tire tread is adjoined to the sidewall.

1. The strip of land along the edge of a paved road. 2. Thickness increase of the part used as a bearing surface.

A hard shoulder, or simply shoulder, is a reserved area by the verge of a road or motorway. Generally it is kept clear of all traffic. In the event of an emergency or breakdown, a motorist can pull into the hard shoulder to get out of the flow of traffic and obtain an element of safety.

The portion of the roadway contiguous with the traveled way for accommodation of stopped vehicles, for emergency use and for lateral support of sub-base, base and surface courses. In rural areas, this portion may also be used for bicycle and pedestrian travel.

The portion of the carriageway beyond the traffic lanes and contiguous and flush with the surface of the pavement.

Level area adjacent to roadway for disabled vehicles.

The area to the side of a roadway, which may or may not be paved or improved.

a portion of the roadway at the outside or inside of the traffic lanes for accommodation of stopped vehicles and emergency use.

Any portion of a roadway to the right of the right-most travel lane, but not including curbs, planting buffers and sidewalks. Shoulders can have a variety of surface treatments including pavement, gravel or grass. Depending on their width and surface, they serve a variety of purposes, including providing space for vehicles to slow and turn right, accommodation of stopped or broken-down vehicles, to allow emergency vehicles to pass, for structural support of the roadbed, or for bicycle and pedestrian travel.

The unbroken portion of the wave next to the white water

The uppermost inclined surface at the top of a hillslope. The area comprises the transitional zone from the back slope to the summit of an upland. The surface is dominantly convex in profile and erosional in origin.

The projection of a bottle necked cartridge case from the neck to the case body; or, the point at which the head of a projectile joins the cylindrical rear portion.

the part of the body between the neck and the upper arm

A sloping area adjacent to or long the edge of a higher, more prominent, or more important part such as the halftone or line images on the plate surface.

The sloped area of a bottle or jar between the neck area and the body of the bottle.

a lateral protrusion on a mountain, or a point on the mountain where the slope changes, forming a convex shape.

The portion of roadbed and ballast which is between the end of the ties and the toe of the ballast slope.

Portion of shell above base which bulges out.

That portion of the body from the neck back through the 5th rib and the upper joint of the foreleg.

The angle formed by one face and one flank of the bastion.

High-density portion of a characteristic curve in which the slope changes with constant changes in exposure. For negative films, slope decreases and further changes in exposure (log H) finally produce no increase in density because maximum density has been reached. For reversal films, slope increases.

The portion of a glass container in which the maximum cross section or body area decreases to join the neck of the container.

The sloping unbroken part of the wave ahead of the pocket.

That part of a bottlenecked case which connects the body and the neck.

The sharply sloping portion of the case of a bottle necked cartridge joining the neck and the body.

The component of the hill slope that forms the uppermost inclined surface. The surface is dominantly convex in profile and erosional in origin.

That part of the hide between the neck and a line cut across the hide from the center of the front flanks, about 50 inches from the butt of the tail of cattlehide.

The part of a ring between the shank and the center of the setting.

the area of the void created when the waste around a tenon has been cut away

This is a generic term referring to a section of wood that is recessed. The most typical example is where a tenon is cut. The part of the tenon that sticks out is the tenon, and the rest of the end is the shoulder.
