Study Notes
Scapula Landmarks
- The superior angle of the scapula is the attachment point of the Levator Scapulae muscle.
- The subscapular fossa is the attachment point of the Subscapularis muscle.
- The lateral end of the clavicle is the anatomical landmark of the Acromion process.
Muscle Attachments
- The Omohyoid muscle attaches to the superior angle of the scapula.
- The Rhomboid major and minor muscles attach to the medial border of the scapula.
- The Teres minor muscle attaches to the inferior angle of the scapula and supraspinous fossa.
- The Supraspinatus muscle attaches to the supraspinous fossa.
- The Infraspinatus muscle attaches to the infraspinous fossa.
- The Teres major muscle attaches to the infraglenoid tubercle.
Muscle Functions
- The Teres minor muscle functions to laterally rotate the arm.
- The Biceps brachii muscle functions to flex the forearm.
- The Upper trapezius muscle functions to elevate the scapula.
Anatomical Landmarks
- Following the lateral border of the scapula superiorly and laterally towards the axilla leads to the Axillary fold.
- Moving posteriorly from the acromion and then medially along a prominent ridge of bone leads to the Spine of the scapula.
- Moving superiorly along the medial border of the scapula leads to the Superior angle of the scapula.
- Moving inferiorly 2-3 vertebrae from SP C7 and then laterally leads to the Acromion process.
