Answer 1

SCAPULA or SHOULDER BLADE

Question 2

is flat and triangular which has Three Borders

Answer 2

Body of the Scapula

Question 3

the inner border that lies close to the vertebral column

Answer 3

Vertebral or Medial Border

Question 4

is the outer border that lies behind and close to the armpit.

Answer 4

Axillary or Lateral Border

Question 5

the short upper border which has a depression on the lateral end called “Scapular Notch”

Answer 5

Upper or Superior Border

Question 6

Answer 6

Medial or Superior Angle

Question 7

is the rounded lower end of the body of the scapula.

Answer 7

Inferior Angle

Question 8

is a narrow ridge or crest of bone that projects back from the posterior surface of the body. It passes transversely from the medial to the lateral border. This divides the posterior surface of the scapular body into the “Supraspinatus fossa” and “Infraspinatus fossa”.

Answer 8

Question 9

is a flat rounded bony prominence continuous with the lateral end of the spine of the scapula.

Answer 9

Acromion

Question 10

is a poorly defined slightly expanded part lateral to the neck.

Answer 10

Head of Scapula

Question 11

is the thickened, slightly constricted part from the body.

Answer 11

Neck of Scapula

Question 12

is an oval depression on the outer surface of the head, somewhat cup-shaped. This accommodate the head of the humerus, forming the shoulder joint.

Answer 12

Glenoid Cavity

Question 13

is a beak-like projection of bone continuous with and projecting forward from the neck of the scapula.

Answer 13

Coracoid Process

Question 14

is a beak-like projection of bone continuous with and projecting forward from the neck of the scapula.

Answer 14

Coracoid Process

Question 15

is a long cylindrical bone extending from the shoulder to the elbow joint.

Answer 15

HUMERUS/ARM/BRACHIUM

Question 16

is the smooth, expanded, rounded upper end that articulate with the Glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the “Shoulder joint”.

Answer 16

Head of the Humerus

Question 17

is the slightly constricted, obliquely directed part adjacent to the head.

Answer 17

Anatomical Neck

Question 18

the large rounded bony prominence on the upper, lateral border just below the anatomical neck. It has a small depression for the insertion of the Spinatus muscle.

Answer 18

Greater Tubercle/Tuberculum Majus

Question 19

is a small bony prominence on the front of the upper humerus just below the anatomical neck.

Answer 19

Lesser Tubercle/Tuberculum Minor
