The scapula moves against the posterior aspect of the rib cage. There is also articulation of the scapula with the humerous at the glenoid fosa and with the clavical at the acromion.

Where is the spine of the scapula located?

The spine of the scapula is located on the posterior aspect of the scapula, dividing it into the supraspinous fossa and infraspinous fossa. It is a prominent ridge that runs horizontally across the bone and serves as an attachment site for muscles that move the arm and shoulder.


Is the nose lateral to the scapula?

The humerus is lateral to the sternum. The sternum, or breastbone, is midline.


Does the scapula have any movement?

Yes it has. The Scapula and humerus forms the shoulder joint and they both coordinate to give overhead abduction, that is abduction above 90 degrees. for every 30 degree movement of the arm or the humerus the scapula moves by 10 degrees. We cannot have overhead abduction is our scapula is stabilized or does not move.


What is the coracoid process?

The coracoid process is a bony projection on the scapula bone (shoulder blade) located near the shoulder joint. It serves as an attachment point for various muscles and ligaments of the shoulder, helping to stabilize and move the shoulder joint.


What process on the scapula does not articulate with other bone?

The medial border of the scapula is what does not articulate on the scapula with any other bone. It is actually parallel to the vertebrae column and because it does not articulate the arms as well as shoulders have move movement.


Why doesnt the scapula move?

The scapula is a bone that moves as part of the shoulder joint. It is involved in various movements such as rotation, elevation, depression, and retraction to ensure proper function and range of motion of the shoulder. If the scapula appears not to move, it may be due to muscle tightness, weakness, or injury affecting the function of the surrounding muscles and joints.


What is the function of scapula in the skeletal system?

It is the shoulder blade. It connects the arm bone to the collar bone. It connects to many shoulder muscles to move your arms and shoulders.


The functions of ball-in-socket joints?
