It is inserted into the medial border of the scapula, between the superior angle and the triangular smooth surface at the apex of the spine. THE MUSCLES CONNECTING THE UPPER LIMB WITH THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN.
The medial border of the scapula is at the medial end of the spine of the scapula. This border is also called the vertebral border.
Posterioly there are the Rhomboideus major and minor and levator scapula. While anteriorly is the upper three digitations of serratus anterior.
The joint between the lateral end of the clavicle and the acromion process of the scapula is called the acromioclavicular joint (AC joint).
The acromion process is on the scapula.
The area where the superior and medial borders of the scapula meet is called the superior angle of the scapula. It is located at the top corner of the scapula, close to the base of the neck.
The landmarks of the scapula include the acromion process, coracoid process, spine of the scapula, suprascapular notch, glenoid cavity, and the inferior angle.
The rhomboid major originates on the spinous processes of the second to fifth thoracic border and inserts on the medial border of the scapula. It retracts the scapula.
Muscles that attach to the scapula are:The Pectoralis minor.The coracobrachialis.The short head of biceps brachii.
The clavicle articulates with the scapula at the acromion process, forming the acromioclavicular joint.
The bicep brachii originates on the scapula. As the "bi" prefix of it's name suggests, it has two heads. One originates from the coracoid process of the scapula, and the other from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula.
