Scapula Scapula. The scapula is commonly referred to as the shoulder blade. It connects the humerus bone of the arm to the collarbone. There are only three muscles that are responsible for enabling the movement of the shoulder blade. The trapezius muscle implants into the collarbone.

Winged scapula Definition/Description. The term ‘winged scapula’ (also scapula alata) is used when the muscles of the scapula are too weak or paralyzed, resulting in a limited ability to stabilize the scapula. As a result, the medial border of the scapula protrudes, like wings. The main reasons for this condition are musculoskeletal-and neurological-related.

Acromion Acromion shoulder is the lateral extension of the spine of the scapula. Scapula is the scientific name for the shoulder blade. The spine leads to a ‘head’ and here it bears two processes – the acromion process and the carocoid process.cromion Scapula. Scapula is the scientific name for the shoulder blade. It is a kind of triangular, flat bone lying over the back of the upper ribs. The scapula serves as an attachment for the muscles of the arm, neck, chest and the back. The back of the scapula is divided into unequal portions by a spine.

- The shoulder blade (scapula) is a triangular-shaped bone that is protected by a complex system of surrounding muscles. Scapula fractures represent less than 1% of all broken bones and many of them can be treated without surgery.

Scapula | Shoulder Blade The scapula, or shoulder blade, is a flat triangular bone. It has two surfaces; costal, and dorsal. The bone overlies the postero-lateral aspect of the thoracic framework, reaching from the second to the seventh Borders and angles.he attached border of this crosses the dorsal surface of the body obliquely in a direction laterally and slightly upwards. The spine extends from the vertebral border towards the centre of the posterior glenoid edge. Separating the spine of the scapula and the glenoid edge is a notch called the great scapular notch.

Scapular Pain Tweet. The scapula, or the shoulder blade, is the flat triangular bone that is found in the shoulder. Scapular pain is a type of pain that occurs when a scapular nerve (originating from the neck) is pinched. The pain usually starts at the root of the nerve, the neck, and then goes down to the shoulder.

Tendinous arch In early Roman times, people thought the bone resembled a trowel, a small shovel. The shoulder blade is also called omo in Latin medical terminology. The scapula forms the back of the shoulder girdle. In humans, it is a flat bone, roughly triangular in shape, placed on a posterolateral aspect of the thoracic cage.

Acromion In this highly specialized endoskeletal structure, the scapula is a dorsal (directed upwards) process attached to the first rib; the coracoid is a posteroventral (directed backward and down) process; and the acromion is a medioventral (directed inwards and down) process (also known as the prescapular process) located at the base of the scapula.

Scapulothoracic Joint The scapula (shoulder blade) is a very involved structure of the body. Not only does this bone articulate with the humerus (upper arm bone) and clavicle (collar bone), it is also the attachment site for many muscles in the shoulder itself, as well as the back, the chest, the arm, and even the neck.

Scapula Translation Scapula in English. In anatomy, the scapula (plural scapulae or scapulas) or shoulder blade is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone). Like their connected bones the scapulae are paired, with the scapula on the left side of the body being roughly a mirror image of the right scapula.

Scapula Bone Anatomy and Muscles The scapula, also known as the shoulder blade is a triangular, flat bone of shoulder girdle that articulates with the head of humerus humerus at the glenohumeral joint which is popularly called as shoulder joint, and with the lateral end of clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint.he processes. The spinous process or spine of scapula is triangular plate of bone with three borders and two surfaces. It divides the dorsal surface of the scapula into the supraspinous and infraspinous fossae. Its posterior border is called the crest of the spine.

Scapula | Shoulder Blade Borders of scapula: Vertebral border: Vertebral (medial) border is the longest of the three borders of scapula. It stretches from the medial angle above to the inferior angle below. The vertebral border affords a narrow surface for the insertion of the levator scapulae, rhomboid minor and rhomboid major muscles.

- Rhomboid major muscle: runs from the spinous processes of the 1st to 4th thoracic vertebrae to the medial border under the spine of the scapula. Rhomboid minor muscle: originates further up at the spinous processes of the 6th to 7th cervical vertebrae and inserts above the scapular spine.

Upper Limb - Articulations and Siding To side a scapula, first locate the spine of the scapula (located on the posterior surface of the scapula). Next, locate the glenoid fossa (cavity) of the scapula. Since the glenoid fossa (cavity) articulates with the head of the humerus, it has to be located on the lateral surface of the scapula. So, to side a scapula...make sure the spine of the scapula is facing posteriorly and the glenoid fossa (cavity) is facing laterally.

- Scapula: The shoulder blade (or wingbone), the familiar flat triangular bone at the back of the shoulder. The word scapula (with the accent on the first syllable) is Latin. The Romans always employed the plural scapulae, the shoulder blades. Because the shoulder blade resembles the blade of a trowel (a small shovel), the word scapula is thought to have come from the Greek skaptein meaning to dig..
