Is there anatomical term for the Shoulder?If not why??

for eg. knee is genu, hip is coxa, elbow is cubitus

Answer:
the muscle is deltoid
the joint is acromion
the bones are either clavicle, humerus, or scapula
It would appear not as the shoulder is the meeting of the scapula and humerus...

Well, the shoulder girdle is also known as the pectoral girdle.

And the tip of the shoulder is known as the acromion.
Scapulohumeral girdle.
clavicle?
This is what I found. The latin term is "articulatio humeri", like knee is "articulatio genu".
