The root of the spine of the scapula is the most medial part of the scapular spine. It is termed "triangular area of the spine of scapula", based on its triangular shape giving it distinguishable visible shape on x-ray images. [1] The root of the spine is on a level with the tip of the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra.
23260. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] 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 ...
Biceps muscle. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the human shoulder and allow for its extensive range of motion. Of the seven scapulohumeral muscles, four make up the rotator cuff. The four muscles are: supraspinatus muscle. infraspinatus muscle. teres minor muscle.
FMA. 25898. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The acromioclavicular joint, or AC joint, is a joint at the top of the shoulder. It is the junction between the acromion (part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle. [1] It is a plane synovial joint.
FMA. 23257. Anatomical terms of bone. [ edit on Wikidata] Acromial angle is a prominent bony point at the junction of the lateral border of acromion and the spine of scapula. [1] [2]
The scapula (pl.: scapulae or scapulas[ 1 ]), also known as the shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone). Like their connected bones, the scapulae are paired, with each scapula on either side of the body being roughly a mirror image of the other. The name derives from the Classical ...
Teres minor muscle (shown in red), seen from behind. The teres minor (Latin teres meaning 'rounded') is a narrow, elongated muscle of the rotator cuff. The muscle originates from the lateral border and adjacent posterior surface of the corresponding right or left scapula and inserts at both the greater tubercle of the humerus and the posterior ...
The rhomboid muscles (/ ˈrɒmbɔɪd /), often simply called the rhomboids, are rhombus -shaped muscles associated with the scapula. There are two rhomboid muscles on each side of the upper back: [1][2][3] Rhomboid major muscle. Rhomboid minor muscle. The large rhombus-shaped muscle, located under the trapezius muscle, in the upper part of the ...
