In anatomy, the scapula, omo (Medical Latin), or shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).

What is the highest point of the shoulder?
The highest point of the shoulder is known as the acromion process, which is a bony projection located at the top of the scapula (shoulder blade). It forms the highest part of the shoulder and serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments. The acromion plays a key role in shoulder stability and movement.
What are two meanings for shoulder?
1.- a human shoulder... a body part 2.- a shoulder of a road... turning point in a road
What is the Anatomical term pertaining to the high point of the shoulder?
acromion process of the scapula? that's my guess
At what point during the hike did you reach the shoulder peak?
I reached the shoulder peak during the hike.
Is the wrist considered distal to the shoulder?
Distal is away from the center of body trunk or point of attachment. The wrist is farther away from center of body trunk. Proximal is closest to the body central axis or point of attachment, so the shoulder is proximal.
What shoulder does your Boy Scout sash go over?
It goes over the right shoulder with the point at your left hip.
At what point during the hike do the shoulder peaks come into view?
The shoulder peaks come into view during the middle of the hike.
What process of the scapula can be palpated at the tip of the shoulder?
The acromion process of the scapula can be palpated at the tip of the shoulder. It is a bony projection that forms the highest point of the shoulder and is easily felt just above the shoulder joint.
Which two large scapular processes are associated with the shoulder joint?
The two large scapular processes associated with the shoulder joint are the acromion and the coracoid process. The acromion extends laterally from the scapula and forms the highest point of the shoulder, serving as an attachment for the clavicle and various shoulder muscles. The coracoid process, located anteriorly, serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments that stabilize the shoulder joint. Both processes play crucial roles in shoulder mobility and stability.
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Where is the acromion process located?
The acromion process is located at the top portion of the scapula (shoulder blade), specifically at the highest point of the shoulder where it joins with the clavicle (collarbone). It forms the point of the shoulder and provides a bony attachment site for muscles and ligaments that stabilize the shoulder joint.
What is the lateral tip in the shoulder?
The lateral tip of the shoulder, often referred to as the acromion process, is a bony prominence at the top of the shoulder blade (scapula). It forms the highest point of the shoulder and serves as an attachment site for muscles and ligaments, playing a crucial role in shoulder stability and movement. The acromion also articulates with the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint, contributing to the shoulder's range of motion.
