Where is the spine of the scapula located?

The spine of the scapula is located on the posterior aspect of the scapula, dividing it into the supraspinous fossa and infraspinous fossa. It is a prominent ridge that runs horizontally across the bone and serves as an attachment site for muscles that move the arm and shoulder.


What bone is found just posterior to the ethmoid bone?

Posterior means behind or toward the back -- so which bone is behind the ethmoid bone? The sphenoid bone (butterfly shaped one).The bone that is found just posterior to the ethmoid bone in the orbit is the sphenoid. Major paranasal sinuses are the ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses.


What bone feature of the second cervical vertebrae articulates with the first cervical vertebrae?

The odontoid process, also known as the dens, is the bone feature of the second cervical vertebrae that articulates with the first cervical vertebrae. This connection forms the atlantoaxial joint, which allows for rotation of the head.


What bone makes the posterior point of the elbow and what is the name of that projection?

The bone that makes the posterior point of the elbow is the ulna. The projection at the posterior point of the elbow is called the olecranon process.


What is the prominent bulge just posterior and inferior to the external auditory meatus?

The prominent bulge just posterior and inferior to the external auditory meatus is the mastoid process of the temporal bone. This bony prominence serves as an attachment site for several muscles involved in head movement and provides protection to the structures within the mastoid air cells.

What are the region of the spine?

The spine (also called backbone or vertebral column) starts at the top of your neck, just under the scull, and goes all the way down to your tail-bone.  There are 5 regions of the spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal.  However the 3 most commonly discussed regions are the cervical, thoracic, lumbar regions.  The cervical region is in the neck.  The thoracic region is in the upper to mid back.  The lumbar region is in the low back.  The sacral region is in the back of your pelvis, between your buttocks.  Finally, the coccygeal region is your "tail-bone."

What does mild posterior ostcophytic ridging at C4-5 mean?

It means that you are beginning to have early arthritic changes in your cervical spine (or neck). There are 7 cervical vertebrae, so this is in the middle of your neck. Osteophytes are basically bone spurs, or a buildup of hardened bone material on the edges of vertebra that occurs when you are losing cartilage and the bones are rubbing against each other.

Jennie tore a nerve in her axillary region, which is her armpit area. She tore ligaments in her cervical and scapular regions, which in her neck and shoulder blade area. She broke a bone in her right brachial region, which is located underneath the bicep muscle of her right upper arm.
