Scapular

The scapula, commonly called the shoulder blade, is a flat, triangular bone located on the back of your shoulder. It connects your upper arm bone (humerus) with your collarbone (clavicle) and provides attachment points for various muscles that help move and stabilize your shoulder. The scapula plays a crucial role in shoulder mobility, allowing a wide range of arm movements like lifting and reaching. It also helps protect the back of your shoulder and supports proper posture. Overall, the scapula is essential for shoulder function and coordinated arm movement.
