Scapular line: A vertical line passing through the inferior angle of the scapula. Paravertebral line: A vertical line corresponding to the tips of the transverse processes of the vertebrae. Posterior median line; Other anatomical lines include:
The fourth thoracic vertebra, together with the fifth, is at the same level as the sternal angle. The thoracic spinal nerve 4 (T4) passes inferior it. A thoracic spine X-ray of a 57-year-old male. Surface orientation of T3 and T7, at middle of spine of scapula and at inferior angle of the scapula, respectively.
The latissimus dorsi crosses the inferior angle of the scapula. A study found that, of 100 cadavers dissected: [6] 43% had "a substantial amount" of fibers in the latissimus dorsi originating from the scapula. 36% had few or no muscular fibers, but a "soft fibrous link" between the scapula and the latissimus dorsi
The lateral angle of the scapula or glenoid angle, also known as the head of the scapula, is the thickest part of the scapula. It is broad and bears the glenoid fossa on its articular surface which is directed forward, laterally and slightly upwards, and articulates with the head of the humerus. The inferior angle is broader below than above ...
posterior surface of inferior angle of scapula: medial lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus: subscapular artery, circumflex scapular artery: lower subscapular nerve (segmental levels C5 and C6) internally rotates humerus: 2 1 supraspinatus: Upper limb, Shoulder, rotator cuff, Right/left supraspinous fossa of scapula: superior facet of ...

The scapular line, also known as the linea scapularis, is a vertical line passing through the inferior angle of the scapula. [ 1 ] It has been used in the evaluation of brachial plexus birth palsy.
Orientation of vertebral column on surface. T3 is at level of medial part of spine of scapula. T7 is at inferior angle of the scapula. L4 is at highest point of iliac crest. S2 is at the level of posterior superior iliac spine. Furthermore, C7 is easily localized as a prominence at the lower part of the neck. [8]
