Other parts of the scapula:

•

  

6 Glenoid cavity (cavitas glenoidalis) 

       – the articular fossa of the shoulder joint

       – is enlarged by a cartilaginous glenoid labrum 

     

•

 

6.1 Supraglenoid tubercle (tuberculum supraglenoidale)

         – is located just above the glenoid cavity

         – the origin of the long head of the biceps brachii

     

•

 

6.2 Infraglenoid tubercle (tuberculum infraglenoidale)

         – located just below the glenoid cavity

         – the origin of the long head of the triceps brachii

•

  

7 Neck of the scapula (collum scapulae)

     – a narrowed area between the glenoid cavity and the rest of the scapula

       – the attachment of the articular capsule of the shoulder joint

•

  

8 Coracoid process (processus coracoideus)

     – the origin of the coracobrachialis and the short head of the biceps brachii

       – the insertion of the pectoralis minor

       – the attachment of the coraco-acromial ligament, 

      coracoclavicular ligament and coracohumeral ligament

•

 

 

9 Suprascapular notch (incisura scapulae) 

     – a notch on the superior border of the scapula next to the coracoid process

     – covered by the superior transverse scapular ligament

     – the suprascapular nerve runs through the notch under the ligament

     – the suprascapular artery and vein pass over the ligament

•

 

10  Spinoglenoid notch (incisura spinoglenoidalis) 

     – a notch between the glenoid cavity and the spine of the scapula

     – covered by the inferior transverse scapular ligament

     – transmits the suprascapular nerve and vessels
