A bone in the shoulder area. Scapula means "shoulder".
The scapula is an irregular bone, and is defined as such because it is not a long, short, or thin bone. A long bone is longer than it is wide, for example the femur. Short bones are "cube shaped", such as the cuboid (one of your tarsal bones). Thin bones have a curve to them and are fairly flat, such as your sternum.
The scapula is a bone, so it is made of connective tissue.
The scapula is a bone, but the shoulder is an example of a ball and socket joint.
