What is the area called where the nerves pass through the scapula?
It is a foremen or hole know as the Scapular notch.
What constitutes of the pectoral girdle?
The pectoral girdle is made up of a left pectoral girdle and a right pectoral girdle. Each set of pectoral girdles has two bones, one clavicle and one scapula. The clavicle bones on both the left and right pectoral girdles are articulated with the sternum. The clavicles are also found on the anterior or front part of the skeleton. The scapula bones on both the left and right pectoral girdles are part of the posterior appendicular skeleton. The scapula bones each articulate with clavicle and the humerus. Your pectorial girdle is located at your shoulder area on your appendicular skeleton. Your upper limb bones are attached to the pectoral (shoulder) girdle. dcart45.
Are the scapula and shoulder the same?
Not quite; the scapula is the shoulder blade, the wing-like bone in the back part of the shoulder area.
Where is bursa found near the shoulder area?
Bursitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the bursa, which is a sac that is located between muscles or tendons of the shoulder. A cause of shoulder bursitis can be overuse of the shoulder joint. This condition can cause pain.

What is the clavicle?
It is the collarbone.Also see "what is the function of the clavicle."In human anatomy, the clavicle or collar bone is classified as a flat bone that makes up part of the shoulder girdle (pectoral girdle). It receives its name from the Latin clavicula ("little key") because the bone rotates along its axis like a key when the shoulder is abducted. (This movement is palpable with the opposite hand). In some people, particularly females who may have less fat in this region, the location of the bone is clearly visible as it creates a bulge in the skin.Clavicle is the medical term for collar bone.The bone linking the scapula and the sternum.
What is the difference between palpating a bony landmark and a muscle?
When you palpate a bony landmark, it will feel harder than the soft tissue around it. For example, feel the point of your shoulder (acromion process of the scapula). Now move more medially (toward the center of your body) to the space between your shoulder and neck. If you feel the front of your body in this area, you will feel the clavicle (collarbone). If you feel the back of the area, you will be on your trapezius muscle, and perhaps supraspinatus and levator scapula. Notice how much softer the muscle areas feel than the bony landmarks. Generally, a bony landmark is a specific place on a particular bone. To use the example above - the acromion process of the scapula - it is the most lateral and superior aspect of the scapula, not just any old place on the scapula.
What is the function of clavicle?
This is a very good question! Your humerus bone forms joint with your scapula. You will be surprised to know that this important bone is not attached to your chest by any bony attachment. It is attached to chest wall by muscles only. That too only the medial and upper border is attached like that. This bone is attached to your chest via clavicle. So your upper extremity gets the mobility on one hand and stability on the other hand.
