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).

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?

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 plane is elevation of the shoulder girdle?

The plane of elevation of the shoulder girdle is the scapular plane, which is at approximately a 30-degree angle from the frontal plane of the body. This plane is important for proper movement of the shoulder joint and can help reduce impingement and stress on the shoulder muscles and tendons. It is often used as a reference point for exercises and movements involving the shoulder.
