Questions and Answers
flat triangular bone of the shoulder - ANSWER-scapula
the long projection dividing the scapula's lateral surface and ending as the acromion -
ANSWER-spine of the scapula
the expanded distal end of the spine of the scapula - ANSWER-acromion
the area cranial to the spine providing attachment of the supraspinatus muscle -
ANSWER-supraspinous fossa
most of the medial (costal) surface of the scapula providing attachment for the
subscapular muscle - ANSWER-infraspinous fossa
the shallow cavity articulating with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint -
ANSWER-glenoid cavity
cartilaginous structure on the distal border of the scapula - ANSWER-scapular cartilage
small proximal and cranial rectangular area that serves as insertion for the serratus
