The scapula moves against the posterior aspect of the rib cage. There is also articulation of the scapula with the humerous at the glenoid fosa and with the clavical at the acromion.

Which structure is more superior on the scapula?
Clavicle bone
Why doesnt the scapula move?
It is a fixated bone with no joint.
What is the coracoid process?
The coracoid process is a small hook-like structure on the lateral edge of the superior anterior portion of the scapula
Can a winged scapula be treated?
can scapula winging be treated
Is rounded shoulders called scapula retraction?
No, when the scapula is retracted it is pinched backwards with both scapula coming closer to the spine. Scapula protraction is when the shoulders are rounded forward by the pectoralis major and or pectoralis minor. The middle section of the trapezius and the rhomboids are responsible for scapula retraction.
Which structure is more superior on the scapula?
Clavicle bone
What does the trapezius move?
Scapula, and the Lateral 3rd of the Clavicle.
Why doesnt the scapula move?

What structure is directly superior to the head of the humerus?
The acromion, which protrude from the scapula, is the body structure directly superior to the head of the humerus.
What process on the scapula does not articulate with other bone?
The medial border of the scapula is what does not articulate on the scapula with any other bone. It is actually parallel to the vertebrae column and because it does not articulate the arms as well as shoulders have move movement.
Is the nose lateral to the scapula?
The humerus is lateral to the sternum. The sternum, or breastbone, is midline.
Does the scapula have any movement?
Yes it has. The Scapula and humerus forms the shoulder joint and they both coordinate to give overhead abduction, that is abduction above 90 degrees. for every 30 degree movement of the arm or the humerus the scapula moves by 10 degrees. We cannot have overhead abduction is our scapula is stabilized or does not move.
What is the function of scapula in the skeletal system?
It is the shoulder blade. It connects the arm bone to the collar bone. It connects to many shoulder muscles to move your arms and shoulders.
Type of movement trapezius produces?
stabilizes, raises, retracts, and rotates scapula; adducts scapula and elevates /depresses scapula stabilizes, raises, retracts, and rotates scapula; adducts scapula and elevates /depresses scapula
What is the coracoid process?
The coracoid process is a small hook-like structure on the lateral edge of the superior anterior portion of the scapula
The functions of ball-in-socket joints?
They let your bones move in all directions. I.E., your humerus and scapula.
What muscles can be antagonistic to themselves?
Trapezius - it elevates and depresses the scapula.
