A lot of the upper back muscles use a scapula for support.
The levator scapulae muscle primarily elevates and rotates the scapula (shoulder blade) downward and inward, allowing for movements such as shrugging the shoulders. It can also contribute to lateral flexion of the neck when acting unilaterally.
Between the scapulae refers to the space located between the two shoulder blades or shoulder bones. This area is part of the upper back and is important for the attachment of various muscles that help with shoulder movement and stability. It is also a common area for muscle tension and trigger points.
Humans have two scapulae (aka shoulder blades)
Scapulae are the anatomical term for the shoulder blades, which are flat, triangular bones located on the upper back. They connect the upper arm bone (humerus) with the collar bone (clavicle) and play a crucial role in the movement and stability of the shoulder joint.

Yes, this is correct.There are two shoulder blades, therefore, "scapula" would be just one shoulder blade. "Scapulae" would be the plural word for both shoulder blades.
Your body has two scapulae. These are the shoulder blades.
The rhomboid muscles and the middle trapezius muscle pull the scapulae medially. These muscles work together to retract and stabilize the scapulae toward the spine.
Scapulae and clavicles together form the shoulder girdle. The clavicle, or collarbone, connects the arm to the body and the scapula, or shoulder blade, provides the attachment for the arm muscles. These bones work together to support shoulder movement and stability.

Yes, you are correct.
The lateral ends of the clavicles articulate with the acromion processes of the scapulae. This joint is called the acromioclavicular joint.
The plural of scapula is scapulas or scapulae.

Raises the scapula at the Scapulothoracic Joint or inclines neck to corresponding side if the scapula is fixed
