    Study Notes

    Scapula and Associated Muscles

    • The subscapular fossa is the origin of the subscapularis muscle.
    • The clavicle articulates with the acromion at the acromioclavicular joint.
    • The deltoid muscle attaches to the acromion.
    • The supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa.
    • The spine of the scapula forms the acromion, which arches over the glenohumeral joint.
    • The humerus articulates with the scapula at the glenohumeral joint.
    • The infraspinatus muscle originates from the infraspinous fossa.
    • The costal surface of the scapula serves as an attachment site for muscles.
    • The pectoralis minor muscle is attached to the coracoid process.
    • The levator scapulae muscle is inserted into the superior angle of the scapula.
    • The long head of the biceps brachii muscle originates from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula.
    • The coracoid process of the scapula is attached to the pectoralis minor and the short head of the biceps brachii muscle.
    • The superior transverse scapular ligament converts the suprascapular notch into a foramen.
    • The rhomboid minor muscle is inserted into the medial border of the scapula.
    • The thickest part of the scapula is located at the lateral border.
    • The teres minor muscle originates from the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula.
    • The levator scapulae muscle is attached to the superior border of the scapula.
    • The inferior angle of the scapula projects at the level of the seventh to ninth ribs.
    • The serratus anterior muscle is attached to the lateral border of the scapula.
