What is the function of the coracoid process?
The coracoid process serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint. It also provides support and stability to the shoulder girdle during arm movements.
What are the attachments for the coracobrachialis?
Proximal: Coracoid Process of the scapula Distal: middle of the medial border of the humerous
Which muscles attach to the coracoid process?
Tendons: Pectoralis minor; Short head of Biceps Brachii; Caracobrachialis Ligaments: Coracoclavicular ligaments (conoid, trapezoid ligaments); Coracoacromial ligament; Coracohumeral ligament
What is the bony projection of the scapula called?
There are actually two: the coracoid process a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula."Coracoid" in itself means "like a raven's beak. The coracoid process is palpable just below the lateral end of the clavicle. It is otherwise known as the "Surgeon's Lighthouse" because it serves as a landmark to avoid neurovascular damage.And the acromion (from Greek: akros, "highest", ōmos, "shoulder", plural: acromia) is a bony process on the scapula. Together with the coracoid process it extends laterally over the shoulder joint.

Process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachments?
coracoid process
What muscles secure the glenoid cavity?
Coracoid Process. The coracoid process points anteriorly over the tip of the shoulder joint and serves as an attachment point for some of the upper limb muscles.
What is the coracoid process and acromion a part of?
The coracoid process and acromion are parts of the scapula bone, which is commonly known as the shoulder blade. The coracoid process is a hook-like structure located on the anterior surface of the scapula, while the acromion is a bony projection that forms the highest point of the shoulder, forming a joint with the clavicle (collarbone).

What is the coracoid process?
The coracoid process is a bony projection on the scapula bone (shoulder blade) located near the shoulder joint. It serves as an attachment point for various muscles and ligaments of the shoulder, helping to stabilize and move the shoulder joint.
What is an acrocoracoid process?
An acrocoracoid process is a dorsal expansion of the coracoid bone which completes the opening for the triosseal canal.
When you palpate a spine what bone do you feel?
