Is the scapular area is both dorsal and posterior?

Yes, the scapular area, i.e. the area of the shoulder blades, is both dorsal and posterior.


What is the other bone in the shoulder?

The shoulder consists of your acromion, clavicle, scapular and the top of your humerus


Scapular plane abduction?

The normal resting position of scapular as it lies on the posterior rib cage is at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees. Raising the arm 30 to 45 degrees from the coronal plane is called the scapular plane.


What are the scapular protractors?

The scapular protractors are muscles that move the shoulder blades outward and forward. The main scapular protractors include the serratus anterior and the pectoralis minor. These muscles play an important role in stabilizing the scapula during arm movements.


What bone is the shoulder bone the collar bone the kneecap and the breastbone?

Shoulder-Scapular Collar-clavicle kneecap-patella breastbone-sternum


Is your spine superior to your sternum?

superior, in anatomical terms means closer to the top of the body, and inferior means closer to the bottom of the body. eg, your neck is superior to your pelvis. anterior means towards the front of the body, posterior towards the back. eg, your sternum is anterior of your scapular. so, 'is your spine superior to your sternum' is not correct. this actually mixes the terminology of superior/inferior and anterior/posterior. your spine cannot be 'higher' than your sternum, it can however be posterior to your sternum. Hope this helps!


Is scapular girdle and pectoral girdle same?

Yes, the scapular girdle is the same as the pectoral girdle, they both refers exactly to the same anatomical components. Please see Dorland's Medical Dictionary--both terms refers to the "cingulum pectorale."Hope this helps.Tony Palomo


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 some effective exercises for targeting the serratus anterior muscle?

Some effective exercises for targeting the serratus anterior muscle include push-ups with a protraction at the top, scapular punches, and dumbbell pullovers. These exercises help strengthen and tone the serratus anterior muscle, which is important for shoulder stability and overall upper body strength.


Which movement results after the contraction of the serratus anterior muscle?

Contraction of the serratus anterior muscle primarily results in protraction of the scapula, which moves the shoulder blade away from the spine. This movement is important for activities that involve reaching or pushing, such as punching or throwing.


What muscles is responsible for the movement of scapula depression?

The movement of the scapula is largely determined by the position of the shoulder girdle as a whole. As a "floating bone" the scapula is often at the mercy of the more fixed extremities and can be acted upon by several different muscles simultaneously. That being said, the prime mover responsible for scapular depression is the trapezius (specifically the lower fibers). Other muscles which act as stabilizers or synergists in scapular depression and eventual scapular protraction are the subscapularis, the serratus anterior and the lower fibers of latissimus dorsi.


Can one wear multiple scapulars?

Of course one can. Of course, just wearing a Scapular doesn't usually effect anything unless one believes and is living the life that is attached to the scapular. For instance, I wear a black scapular of the Benedictine Order as I am an Benedictine Oblate, and thus must fulfill all the requirements of being an Oblate. I also wear a Scapular medal of the Brown Scapular, although the promises are mostly made towards wearers of the cloth Scapulars. Scapulars are the long apron like piece of fabric that hang from the shoulders to the ground front and back on religious habits. What we normally think of a "scapular" we think of two small pieces of cloth with strings over the shoulders. There is a "five-fold" scapular which is sold that way, and is, literally, five scapulars sew into one: the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (this is the most famous one), the Blue Scapular of the Immaculate Conception, the Black Scapular of the Seven Dolors of Mary, the Red Scapular of the Passion, and the White Scapular of the Most Holy Trinity.
