Study Notes
Key Bone Information
- The hyoid bone is not articulated with the skeleton, meaning it does not form a joint with any other bones.
Scapula Features
- The most prominent feature of the lateral surface of the scapula is the glenoid cavity, which is where the humerus articulates to form the shoulder joint.
Scapular Surface Orientation
- The cranial side of the scapula is characterized by the subscapular fossa, which is the surface that faces the rib cage.
Muscle Origins
- The coracoid process serves as the origin for the biceps brachii muscle, which plays a crucial role in elbow flexion and forearm supination.
Scapular Borders
- The infraglenoid tubercle is located on the lateral border of the scapula, providing attachment for the long head of the triceps brachii muscle.
