It is the plural form of "scapula" the shoulder blade.
The scapulae, also known as shoulder blades, connect to the clavicles (collarbones) at the acromioclavicular joint. Muscles such as the trapezius, deltoid, and rotator cuff muscles also connect to the scapulae to help move and stabilize the shoulder joint.
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.

No, not all frogs have a scapula. Some frog species, like the aquatic frogs, have reduced or even absent scapulae as they have adapted to their specific environments.
