Document Summary

Scapula: a flat bone with a long ridge running down its lateral surface. Spine: a ridged, palpable prominence on the lateral aspect of the scapula. Acromion: an enlarged palpable process on distal aspect of spine. Neck: general term for the constricted area of the ventral part of bone, distal to spine. Supraspinous fossa: lateral area of the bone cranial to the spine. Infraspinous fossa: a lateral area of the bone caudal to the spine. Serrated face: a proximal, cranial rectangle on the medial surface. Subscapular fossa: the medial surface of the bone remaining that is not serrated face. Humerus: long bone in the upper arm located between the elbow joint and the shoulder. Greater tubercle: tubercle on the proximal, craniolateral aspect of the bone and is palpable. Lesser tubercle: tubercle on the proximal, medial aspect of the bone. Trochlea: a distal articulating area (radius and ulna) medial to large ridge.
