What does the scapula look like?

The scapula is a flat, triangular bone located on the back of the shoulder. It has a prominent ridge called the spine that divides it into unequal portions called the supraspinous and infraspinous fossae. The scapula also has a bony projection called the acromion that forms the tip of the shoulder.


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 greater sciatic notch inferior to the posterior inferior iliac spine?

Yes, the greater sciatic notch is inferior to the posterior inferior iliac spine. The greater sciatic notch is a cavity located on the posterior side of the hip bone, while the posterior inferior iliac spine is a bony projection from the hip bone.


What musel moves scapula?

The scapula is not only moved by one muscle, but several. All the muscles around it that connect to it assist in moving it in a certain way whether it be moving it closer to the spine in adduction, away from the spine in abduction, elevating it, or rotating it. The subscapularis, romboids, trapezius, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, latisimus dorsi, levator scapuli, teres, and some other rotator cuff muscles all move the scapula. -elias

What structures are related to lateral end of the spine of the scapula?

Scapula is very interesting bone. It holds the upper limb, but have no bony attachment to your thorax. It is attached to thorax, through the collar bone or the clavicle. Lateral end of the clavicle is attached to the lateral end of the spine of the scapula. On the inside of the spine of the scapula and clavicle, you have insertion of the muscle called as trapezius. From out side of this, you have origin of the deltoid muscle. Technically and mechanically, the trapezius muscle continues as deltoid muscle.
