The coracoid process acts as an attachment and origin for a large number of muscles (attached muscles not labeled here). The coracoid process is a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula; [2] it runs at first upward and medially; then, becoming smaller, it changes its direction, and projects forward and laterally.

This is a list of human anatomy mnemonics, categorized and alphabetized.For mnemonics in other medical specialties, see this list of medical mnemonics.Mnemonics serve as a systematic method for remembrance of functionally or systemically related items within regions of larger fields of study, such as those found in the study of specific areas of human anatomy, such as the bones in the hand ...
It is the location through which the cephalic vein passes and where the coracoid process is most easily palpable. See also
The coracobrachialis muscle muscle in the upper medial part of the arm. It is located within the anterior compartment of the arm.It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula; it inserts onto the middle of the medial aspect of the body of the humerus.
On imaging, it is defined by the coracoid process at its base, the supraspinatus tendon superiorly and the subscapularis tendon inferiorly. Changes of adhesive capsulitis can be seen at this interval as edema and fibrosis. Pathology at the interval is also associated with glenohumeral and biceps instability. [16]
In human anatomy, the acromion (from Greek: akros, "highest", ōmos, "shoulder", pl.: acromia) is a bony process on the scapula (shoulder blade). Together with the coracoid process, it extends laterally over the shoulder joint. The acromion is a continuation of the scapular spine, and hooks over anteriorly.
The coracohumeral ligament arises from the lateral border or the base of the coracoid process. [1] [2] It passes obliquely downwards and laterally to the front of the greater tubercle of the humerus. [1] [2] It forms two bands [3]: 908 - an anterior one and a posterior one - that insert into the lesser and greater tubercles of the humerus ...
