#SPINE OF SCAPULA HOW TO#
How to hold scapula in anatomical position?Ī. Dorsal surface bearing spinous process is directed posterioly.In order to determine the side one must known that How can you determine the side of the bone? it provides attachment to 3 muscles and 3 ligaments. Coracoid process:is present above the glenoid cavity and is shaped like a bent finger.It has an articular facet near the tip which articulates with lateral end of clavicle. It has medial and lateral borders and superior and inferior surfaces. Acromion process is a forward projection from the lateral end of spine.The lateral border of spine forms the boundary of spinoglenoid notch. The crest of spine of scapula has two border (lips) upper and lower. Its anterior border is attached to the body of scapula and the posterior border known as ‘çrest of spine’ is free. Spine of scapulais present on the dorsal aspect of the body of scapula and is triangular in shape.Three processes ( Spine,acromion and coracoid) Dorsal surface is divided into supraspinous and infraspinous fossa by the spine of scapula.ventral surface is concave and is called subscapular fossa.two surfaces (costal (ventral) and dorsal).Lateral border is thick and extends from glenoid cavity to inferior angle.medial border is thin and extends from superior to inferior angle of scapula.Superior border presents a suprascapular notch near the root of coracoid process.three borders ( superior, medial and lateral).At the lateral angle there is a shallow pear shaped fossa called glenoid cavity. three angles( superior, inferior and lateral).Scapula lies on the posterolateral aspect of the thorax extending from 2nd to 7th rib.Ī bodywhich is triangular in shape. the body of scapula is thin, flat and triangular with two surfaces- ventral and dorsal.
