Scapula description |
---|
In anatomy, the scapula (plural scapulae or scapulas; also known as shoulder bone, shoulder blade or wing bone) is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone). Like their connected bones the scapulae are paired, with the scapula on either side of the body being roughly a mirror image of the other. The name derives from early Roman times when it was thought that the bone resembled a trowel or small shovel. * In compound terms, the prefix omo- is used for the shoulder blade in Latin medical terminology. The prefix is derived from (mos), the Ancient Greek word for shoulder, and is cognate with the Latin (h)umerus. * The scapula forms the back of the shoulder girdle. In humans, it is a flat bone, roughly triangular in shape, placed on a posterolateral aspect of the thoracic cage. |
