    • Question
    • Answer
    • Side 3
    • small oval plate located cranial to the shoulder within the clavicular tendon in the brachiocephalicus muscle
    • CLAVICLE
    • Ventral angle is the distal or articular end that forms this on the scapula
    • GLENOID CAVITY
    • Lateral surface of the scapula is divided into 2 nearly equal fossae by this shelf of bone
    • SPINE
    • The distal end truncated process on the scapula
    • ACROMION
    • The entire surface cranial to the spine of the scapula. The supraspinatus arises from all but the distal part of this fossa
    • SUPRASPINOUS FOSSA
    • Caudal to the spine of the scapula, is triangular, with the apex at the neck.
    • Infraspinous fossa
    • A small proximal and cranial rectangular area that serves as an insertion for the serratus ventralis
    • Serrated Face
    • Large remaining part of the costal surface that is nearly flat and presents 3 straight muscular lines that converge distally
    • Subscapular fossa
    • Thin border of the scapula
    • Cranial border
    • Near the ventral angle the border is concave as it enters into the formation of the neck; the notch formed
    • Scapular notch
    • Dorsal end of the cranial border that thickens and is continuous with the dorsal border
    • Cranial Angle
    • Extends from cranial and caudal angles; rhomboideus attaches here
    • Dorsal Border
    • Proximal to the ventral angle; thick
    • Caudal Border
    • On the caudal border; where teres minor and long head of the triceps arises from
    • Infraglenoid Tubercle
    • Forms the expanded distal end of the scapula
    • Ventral Angle
    • Constricted segment of the scapula ventral to the spine and dorsal to the expanded part of the bone that forms the glenoid cavity
    • Neck
    • Articulates with the head of the humerus
    • Glenoid Cavity
    • An eminence at the cranial part of the glenoid cavity
    • Superglenoid tubercle
    • A slight medial inclination on the superglenoid tubercle
    • Coracoid process
