2. Which portion of the clavicle is the sternal end?

Explanation

The sternal end of the clavicle is the end of the clavicle that articulates with the sternum, whereas the acromial end articulates with the acromion of the scapula. The medial end of the clavicle is closer to the midline of the body, while the lateral end is farther away from the midline.

Submit
3. What portion of the Clavicle is this?

Explanation

The Acromial End of Clavicle refers to the end of the clavicle bone that articulates with the acromion process of the scapula. It is an important anatomical landmark for identifying the different portions of the clavicle bone.

Submit
4. What bone is this?

Explanation

The scapula, also known as the shoulder blade, is a flat bone that connects the humerus (arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone) to form the shoulder joint.

Submit
5. What specific part of the scapula is this?

Explanation

The correct answer is the Spine of Scapula, as it is a prominent bony projection on the posterior surface of the scapula. The Clavicle is a distinct bone located in the shoulder region, the Acromion Process is a specific projection on the scapula, and the Coracoid Process is another bony projection located on the scapula, but not the answer to this question.

Submit
6. What part of the scapula is this?

Explanation

The acromion of the scapula is the highest point of the shoulder and helps form the shoulder joint, while the coracoid process is a protrusion on the anterior surface, the glenoid cavity is part of the shoulder joint, and the inferior angle is the lowest point of the scapula.

Submit
7. What is the correct term for the part of the scapula known as the Glenoid Cavity?

Explanation

The Glenoid Cavity is a shallow, concave surface on the lateral angle of the scapula. It is also known as the Glenoid Fossa and serves as the point of articulation for the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint.

Submit
8. What is the correct term for the upper edge of the scapula?

Explanation

The scapula has different borders which include superior, inferior, lateral, and medial borders. The correct term for the upper edge of the scapula is the superior border, as it is located at the top of the scapula.

Submit
9. What part of the scapula is this?

Explanation

The scapula, also known as the shoulder blade, has different borders and angles. The correct answer refers to the Lateral (Axillary) Border, which is the outermost edge of the scapula. The incorrect answers represent other parts of the scapula such as the Medial Border, Superior Border, and Inferior Angle.

Submit
10. What part of the scapula is this?

Explanation

The correct answer is the Medial (Vertebral) Border, as it is the edge of the scapula closest to the vertebral column. The Acromion Process is located at the top of the scapula, the Coracoid Process is a protrusion on the front of the scapula, and the Lateral (Axillary) Border is on the outer edge of the scapula.

Submit
11. What part of the scapula is this?

Explanation

The superior angle of the scapula is the highest point of the scapula located at the top outer corner.

Submit
12. What part of the scapula is this?

Explanation

The scapula, also known as the shoulder blade, is a triangular-shaped bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) to the clavicle (collarbone). The inferior angle is located at the bottom tip of the scapula, whereas the acromion process is at the top, the coracoid process is a hook-shaped bony projection on the anterior aspect, and the glenoid cavity is the shallow socket that articulates with the head of the humerus.

Submit
13. What specific part of the scapula is known as the 'Coracoid Process'?

Explanation

The Coracoid Process is a protrusion on the scapula bone that serves as a point of attachment for muscles of the upper limb and chest region.

Submit
14. What specific part of the scapula is highlighted in the image?

Explanation

The Supraspinous Fossa is located above the spine of the scapula and is a concave, smooth area. The Infraspinous Fossa is located below the spine of the scapula. The Glenoid Cavity is the shallow cavity that articulates with the head of the humerus. The Acromion Process is the bony projection at the top of the scapula.

Submit
15. What is the name of the depression located on the posterior side of the scapula?

Explanation

The Infraspinous Fossa is the depression located on the posterior side of the scapula, while the Subscapular Fossa is located on the anterior side. The Supraspinous Fossa is located above the spine of the scapula, and the Glenoid Fossa is a shallow socket on the lateral angle of the scapula.

Submit
16. What part of the scapula is known as the 'Subscapular Fossa'?

Explanation

The Subscapular Fossa is a concave, smooth depression on the anterior surface of the scapula, specifically for the attachment of the subscapularis muscle.
