The Scapula is the scientific name for the shoulder bone. It is where your humerus (the most proximal arm bone) connects with your body. If you feel the back of your shoulder, you will notice a protruding line of bone. That it the spine of the scapula.
Answer
One of 2 large bones that form the upper back, part of the shoulder that connects the humerus to the collar bone. It is the scientific name for the shoulder blade. Scapulae is plural for the shoulder blades. See the related link for more information.
Answer
Scapular /Scapula, omo (Medical Latin), or shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).
The scapula is the bone which together with the collar bone and the humerus forms the shoulder joint. It lies in the upper part of the back of the chest
The scapula is located behind the upper part of the rib cage (The posterior part of the shoulder). Specifically it's located between the upper head of humerus (the arm bone) laterally ,and the clavicle (collar bone) medially. It's the flat bone of the shoulder girdle. The body has two scapulae on both sides (left and right).
It's your shoulder blade.
At the top of your back, the scapula is your shoulder blade.
Either of two large flat triangular bones, one each side of the back part of the shoulder in man. Nontechnical name Shoulder blade.
The scapula is the shoulder blades. :)
The scapula is located at the shoulders. It's mainly just the collarbone.
Under your neck and above your torso.
The scapula is located in your shoulders. Some people say it's in your collarbone but if it's in a question like 'would you find the scapula in the knee, shoulder or wrist?' It's shoulder.
Additional answer
It's the shoulder blade.
The Scapula, aka the shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone). Its triangular in shape and is located on either side at the top of your back. :)
What else can I help you with?
What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The muscle you are referring to is the subscapularis muscle. It originates on the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus. It is responsible for medial rotation of the shoulder joint.
What bones make up the humerus?
Supraglenoid tubercle, Scapular notch, Acromion process, Coracoid process, Superior border, Glenoid cavity, Lateral border, Subscapular fossa, Supraspinous Fossa, Superior Angle, Spine, Infraglenoid tubercle, Infraspinous fossa, Medial border, Scapular notch and Inferior angle.
Which does not belong ischium scapula ilium pubis?
Scapula does not belong. The ischium, ilium, and pubis are bones of the pelvis, while the scapula is a bone of the shoulder girdle.
Type of movement trapezius produces?
stabilizes, raises, retracts, and rotates scapula; adducts scapula and elevates /depresses scapula stabilizes, raises, retracts, and rotates scapula; adducts scapula and elevates /depresses scapula
Is tipping of scapula same as winging of scapula?
No. Winging Posterior movement of the medial border of the scapula, Rotation about a vertical axis. Tipping Posterior movement of the inferior angle of the scapula, Rotation about a transverse axis
How many the origins does the biceps brachii have and where are they?
The long head of the bicep originates from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, while the short head originates from the coracle process of the scapula. So there are 2 origins
What is the origin of biceps brachii?
The bicep brachii originates on the scapula. As the "bi" prefix of it's name suggests, it has two heads. One originates from the coracoid process of the scapula, and the other from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula.
What is the insertion of the biceps?
The biceps brachii muscles, commonly called the "biceps muscle," its insertion on the radial tuberosity. The origin is actually in two places, one for each head of the biceps - the short head originates from the coracoid process of the scapula and the long head originates from the supraglenoid tubercle.

What bone do the muscles of the rotator cuff originate?
The rotator cuff muscles are referred to occasionally as the SITS muscles. The Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor and the subscapularis. The Supras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Infras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(greater tubercle. The Teres minor originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Subscapularis originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(lesser tubercle). The function of this muscle group is to stabilize the shoulder joint. Hope this helps.
Name 3 muscles on the upper arm and shoulder?
Many muscles are attached to shoulder girdle. You have trapezius, deltoid muscles attached to spine of the scapula and clavicle. Rhomboid major and minor muscles and serratus anterior muscle attached to the medial border of the scapula. You have subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus muscles attached to the inner and outer surfaces of the scapula. You have teres minor and major muscles attached to lateral border of the scapula. You have pectoralis major muscle (clavicular head) attached to clavicle. You have biceps muscle attached to coracoid process and supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. you have long head of triceps attached to infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. you have pectoralis major muscle attached to coracoid process of the scapula.You have subclavius muscle attached to clavicle.
What is the proximal attachment of the triceps brachii?
Long (Scapular) Head: Infra-glenoid tubercle at the lateral border of scapula inferior to the glenoid fossa
What is another term for the superior surface of the scapula where the biceps attach?
There are two areas on the scapula where the biceps attaches: the first is the coracoid process, the second is the glenoid tubercle. Not sure there is a more general single term that includes both of these areas.
What is another term for superior surface of the scapula where the biceps attach?
