The acromioclavicular ( AC ) joint is located between the acromion ( part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder ) and the clavicle.

Stretching from the spine to the scapula, rhomboid major forms part of the latter group together with rhomboid minor, serratus anterior, levator scapulae, and trapezius.

In primitive life forms, the main function of the axioscapular group is to control the movements of the vertebral border of the scapula: fibers concerned with the dorsal movement of scapula evolved into the rhomboids, those with ventral motion into serratus anterior, and those with cranial movements into levator scapulae.

In conjunction with the coracoid and the scapula, it forms a unique structure called the triosseal canal, which houses a strong tendon that connects the supracoracoideus muscles to the humerus.

The clavicle forms a slight S-shaped curve where it curves from the sternal end laterally and anteriorly for near half its length, then forming a posterior curve to the acromion of the scapula.

It is the junction between the acromion ( part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder ) and the clavicle.

In primitive life forms, the main function of the axioscapular group is to control the movements of the vertebral border of the scapula: fibers concerned with the dorsal movement of scapula evolved into the rhomboids, those with ventral motion into serratus anterior, and those with cranial movements into levator scapulae.

They are inserted into the medial margin of the acromion, and into the superior lip of the posterior border of the spine of the scapula.

* Posterior or spinal fibers arise from the lower lip of the posterior border of the spine of the scapula.

One of the muscles within the floor of the posterior triangle of the neck, the superior part of levator scapula is covered by sternocleidomastoid and its inferior part by the trapezius.

Basal traits include the recurved claws, the low humerus / scapula ratio, the lack of syndesmosis, a short posterior process of the coracoid and the combined length of the second and third phalanx of the third finger being greater than the length of the third phalanx.

In primates, the thoracic cage is wide and the scapula is rotated onto its posterior side to have the glenoid fossa face laterally.

The supraspinatus muscle is supplied by the suprascapular nerve ( C5 and C6 ), which arises from the superior trunk of the brachial plexus and passes laterally through the posterior triangle of the neck and through the scapular notch on the superior border of the scapula.

The fibers converge to a tendon, which glides over the lateral border of the spine of the scapula, and, passing across the posterior part of the capsule of the shoulder-joint, is inserted into the middle impression on the greater tubercle of the humerus.

The athlete's left hand ends up pressing down on the scapula region of his opponent's back.

Doctors treat a dislocation by putting the head of the humerus back into the joint socket ( glenoid fossa ) of the scapula — a procedure called manipulation and reduction ( M & R ).

As for pyromantic shells or bones with inscriptions, the earliest date back to the site of Erligang in Zhengzhou, Henan, where burned scapula of oxen, sheep and pigs were found, and one bone fragment from a pre-Shang layer was inscribed with a graph ( ㄓ ) corresponding to Shang oracle bone script.

Substernal or left precordial pleuritic chest pain with radiation to the trapezius ridge ( the bottom portion of scapula on the back ), which is relieved by sitting up and bending forward and worsened by lying down ( recumbent or supine position ) or inspiration ( taking a breath in ), is the characteristic pain of pericarditis.

The rhomboid major is a skeletal muscle on the back that connects the scapula with the vertebrae of the spinal column.

In human anatomy, the rhomboid minor is a small skeletal muscle on the back that connects the scapula with the vertebrae of the spinal column.

The laid back scapula slides back to the horizontal as the horse lifts its front legs, increasing the horse's scope over fences.

Injury to this nerve is usually apparent when the scapula on one side is located farther from the midline.

The pain is originally located in the right upper quadrant but the referred pain may occur in the right scapula region ( Boas ' sign ).

As a whole cut of meat, it usually weighs around two to three pounds ; it is located adjacent to the heart of the shoulder clod, under the seven or paddle bone ( shoulder blade or scapula ).

The coracoid process is a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula ; it runs at first upward and medialward ; then, becoming smaller, it changes its direction, and projects forward and lateralward.

T3 is at level of medial part of spine of scapula.

The " ball " is the top, rounded portion of the upper arm bone or humerus ; the " socket ," or glenoid, is a dish-shaped part of the outer edge of the scapula into which the ball fits.

In human anatomy, the shoulder joint comprises the part of the body where the humerus attaches to the scapula, the head sitting in the glenoid fossa.

The infraspinatus and teres minor attach to head of the humerus ; as part of the rotator cuff they help hold the humeral head in the glenoid cavity of the scapula.

Near fall criteria is met when: ( 1 ) the offensive wrestler holds the defensive wrestler in a high bridge or on both elbows ; ( 2 ) the offensive wrestler holds any part of both his opponent's shoulders or scapulae ( shoulder blades ) within four inches of the mat ; or ( 3 ) the offensive wrestler controls the defensive wrestler in such a way that one of the bottom wrestler's shoulders or scapulae, or the head, is touching the mat, and the other shoulder or scapula is held at an angle of 45 degrees or less to the mat.

A Pin ( amateur wrestling ) | fall, also known as a Pin ( amateur wrestling ) | pin, occurs when any part of both shoulder s or both scapula | scapulae ( shoulder blades ) of the defensive wrestler is held in continuous contact with the mat for a specified amount of time ( in scholastic wrestling for two seconds ). Falls ( or pins ) can be attained in many different technique combinations.

Whenever they had a feast, they used to roast lambs or kids, and after the meal, anyone who knew how to " read " the scapula would clean it of any remaining flesh and, lifting it up to the light, would interpret the various shadowy bits showing on the transparent part of the bone.

The inferior part can pull the lower end of the scapula laterally and forward and thus rotates the scapula to make elevation of the arm possible.

In some later pterosaurs, the backbone over the shoulders fused into a structure known as a notarium, which served to stiffen the torso during flight, and provide a stable support for the scapula ( shoulder blade ).

It joins with the scapula above in the shoulder at the glenohumeral joint and with the ulna and radius below at the elbow.

* Acromioclavicular joint ( AC joint ), the shoulder junction between the scapula and the clavicle

* The clavicle and scapula protect the shoulder.

In human anatomy, the trapezius is a large superficial muscle that extends longitudinally from the occipital bone to the lower thoracic vertebrae and laterally to the spine of the scapula ( shoulder blade ).

In human anatomy, the acromion ( from Greek: akros, " highest ", ōmos, " shoulder ", plural: acromia ) is a bony process on the scapula ( shoulder blade ), together with the coracoid process extending laterally over the shoulder joint.

In anatomy, the scapula ( Medical Latin ), or shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus ( upper arm bone ) with the clavicle ( collar bone ).

At the shoulder, the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula.

These muscles arise from the scapula and connect to the head of the humerus, forming a cuff at the shoulder joint.

Hominoids have more mobile shoulder joints and arms due to the dorsal position of the scapula, broad ribcages that are flatter front-to-back, and a shorter, less mobile spine compared to Old World monkeys, with caudal ( tail ) vertebrae greatly reduced, resulting in complete tail loss in living species.

The sternocleidomastoid muscle tilts and rotates the head, while the trapezius muscle has several actions on the scapula, including shoulder elevation and adduction of the scapula.

Conversely, pain felt in the region of the shoulder blade or scapula nearly always has its origin in the neck.

The shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle ( collarbone ), the scapula ( shoulder blade ), and the humerus ( upper arm bone ) ( see diagram ).

A shoulder separation occurs where the collarbone ( clavicle ) meets the shoulder blade ( scapula ).

Normally these tendons transmit the force of muscles originating on the shoulder blade ( scapula ) to the arm providing motion and stability.

A bone fracture of the shoulder involves a partial or total crack through one of the three bones in the shoulder, the clavicle, the scapula, and the humerus.

In this operation, a surgeon replaces the shoulder joint with an artificial ball for the top of the humerus and a cap ( glenoid ) for the scapula.
