Scapula Slide 1. Introduction The scapula is a flat bone. It is also called the shoulder blade. We have two scapulae in our body. They are located on the back, on both sides of the spine. Slide 2. Location The scapula is located in the upper part of the back. It is connected to the collarbone and the upper arm bone. It helps the shoulder move. Slide 3. Shape The scapula is a flat, triangular bone. It has three sides and three angles. It has two surfaces: the front surface and the back surface. Slide 4. Main Parts The scapula has several important parts. They are the spine, the acromion and the coracoid process. These parts help connect muscles and other bones. Slide 5. The Spine of the Scapula The spine is a large part on the back surface of the scapula. It divides the back surface into two small areas. Many muscles are attached to it. Slide 6. The Acromion The acromion is a flat part of the scapula. It is located at the top of the bone. It connects with the collarbone and helps form the shoulder joint. Slide 7. The Coracoid Process The coracoid process is a small, hook-shaped part of the scapula. It is located near the top of the bone. Several muscles and ligaments are attached to it. Slide 8. The Shoulder Joint The scapula helps form the shoulder joint. It has a small, round surface called the glenoid cavity. The head of the upper arm bone fits into this cavity. Slide 9. Functions of the Scapula The scapula has several important functions. It helps move the arm in different directions. It also supports the shoulder and gives attachment to many muscles. Slide 10. Conclusion The scapula is an important bone of the shoulder. It helps us move our arms and supports the shoulder joint. It also connects muscles and other bones. Thank you for your attention!

The scapula, or shoulder blade, is a triangular bone located in the upper back, connecting to the clavicle and humerus. Key landmarks include the acromion, which connects to the clavicle, and the coracoid process and glenoid cavity, essential for joint structure. The scapula plays a crucial role in arm movement and shoulder stability through various muscle attachments. Understanding these components enhances knowledge of shoulder anatomy and function.
