The scapula is known as a flat bone due to its flat surface shape, there are three parts which make up the scapula, these are called:
- Supraspinous
- Infraspinous
- Spine
SUPRASPINOUS
The supraspinous is situated above the spine of the scapula and makes up the upper part of the scapula.
INFRASPINOUS
The infraspinous is situated below the spine of the scapala and is the lower majority of the bone.
SPINE
As shown on the diagram below, the spine runs inbetween the supraspinous and infraspinous and is attached to the acromian which is situated as part of the shoulder girdle.
