Question 4

Scapula

Identify

1. Superior angle
2. Inferior angle
3. Superior border
4. Medial border
5. Lateral border
6. Subscapular fossa
7. Coracoid process

Answer 4

Question 5

1. Describe the glenoid cavity
2. How does this differ from the acetabulum?
3. Which is the most stable? Glenohumoral or hip joint?

Answer 5

1. The glenoid cavity is a shallow, concave, oval fossa (L. fossa ovalis), directed anterolaterally and slightly superiorly, considerably smaller than the ball (head of the humerus) for which it serves as a socket
2. the cup-like depression in the lateral surface of the hip bone, which articulates with the head of the femur.
3. Hip joint

Question 6

1. What is the supraglenoid tubercle?
2. Where is it found?

Answer 6

1. a region of the scapula from which the long head of the biceps brachii muscle originates. It is a small, rough projection
2. superior to the glenoid cavity near the base of the coracoid process.

Question 7

What are the features of the posterior region of the scapula?

Answer 7

Supraspinous fossa

Spine of scapula

Infraspinous fossa

Question 8

Clavicle

Identify

Sternal end

Acromial end

Concavity/convexity of the anterior and posterior borders
