Study Notes
Clavicle
- Has two ends
- Has two surfaces: inferior surface and margins, which are roughened by the attachment of muscles that connect the clavicle to the thorax, neck, and upper limb
Scapula
- A large, flat triangular bone
- Has three angles: lateral, superior, and inferior
- Has three borders: superior, lateral, and medial
- Has two surfaces: costal and posterior
- Has three processes: acromion, spine, and coracoid process
- The posterior surface of the scapula is subdivided by the spine into a small, superior supraspinous fossa and a much larger, inferior infraspinous fossa
- The acromion is an anterolateral projection of the spine that arches over the glenohumeral joint and articulates with the clavicle
- The region between the lateral angle of the scapula and the attachment of the spine to the posterior surface of the scapula is the spinoglenoid notch (Greater scapular notch)
Surface Anatomy of the Scapula
- The lateral end of the scapula is marked by the coracoid process, a hook-like structure that projects anterolaterally
- The suprascapular notch lies immediately medial to the root of the coracoid process
- The posterior surface of the scapula is characterized by a shallow concave subscapular fossa
Glenoid Cavity and Surrounding Features
- The glenoid cavity is located at the lateral angle of the scapula
- The supraglenoid tubercle is located superior to the glenoid cavity and is the site of attachment for the long head of the biceps brachii muscle
- The infraglenoid tubercle is a large triangular-shaped roughening inferior to the glenoid cavity and is the site of attachment for the long head of the triceps brachii muscle
