No, when the scapula is retracted it is pinched backwards with both scapula coming closer to the spine. Scapula protraction is when the shoulders are rounded forward by the pectoralis major and or pectoralis minor. The middle section of the trapezius and the rhomboids are responsible for scapula retraction.
What else can I help you with?
What is the area called between your clavicle and scapula?
The point at which the clavicle and the scapula connect is a joint called the acromioclavicular joint.The acromioclavicular joint.
The lateral tip of the shoulder is the what Part of the scapula?
The medial border of the scapula is at the medial end of the spine of the scapula. This border is also called the vertebral border.
What body part is capable of Retraction?
The retractable body part is the tongue. It can be pulled back into the mouth by a set of muscles called the intrinsic muscles. This retraction helps with activities such as swallowing and speaking.
What is the shoulder blade called in a human?
This another name for scapula. The clavicle (collar bone) and humerus for joints with it. Together, they form the should joint.
What is the area called where the nerves pass through the scapula?
It is a foremen or hole know as the Scapular notch.
Where is the rhomboid muscle located?
The rhomboid muscles, often simply called the rhomboids, are rhombus-shaped muscles associated with the scapula and are chiefly responsible for its retraction. There are two rhomboid muscles: Rhomboid major muscle and Rhomboid minor muscle. They are located on the back that connects the scapula with the vertebrae of the spinal column.
What is the bone that is attaches to the scapula called?
The humerus and clavicle attach to the scapula.
What is the spoon shaped portion of the scapula called?
the spoon shaped portion of the scapula is called the olecranon process
What muscles is the prime mover to protract scapula?
By protraction, I assume that you mean shifting (rotating) the shoulder girdle anteriorly, which involves moving the scalula away from the spine (such as is requires when reaching forward). This motion requires movement at the sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and coracoclavicular joints, and is performed by actions of the serratus anterior, pectoralis minor and pectoralis major.The opposite movement, retraction, is backward movement of the shoulder girdle, and involves moving the scapula back toward the spine. Trapezius (middle and lower fibers), rhomboids and latissimus dorsiare responsible for retraction.
Is moving a body part anteriorly called retraction?
No, moving a body part anteriorly is called protraction. Retraction refers to moving a body part posteriorly.
What is the most superior medial aspect of the scapula called?
The acromion process is the most superior medial aspect of the scapula. It articulates with the clavicle.
What is the name the anterior depression on the scapula?
The anterior depression on the scapula is called the subscapular fossa. It is located on the anterior surface of the scapula and serves as the attachment site for the subscapularis muscle.
What are called the shoulder girdle?
The shoulder blade is called the scapula.
What are shoulder girdles called?

The triangle shaped bone in your upper back is called?
The triangle-shaped bone in your upper back is called the scapula, which is also known as the shoulder blade. It is an important bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) to the clavicle (collarbone) and helps in the movement of the shoulder joint.
