Shoulder girdle

This video tutorial by Matt from Kenhub covers the anatomy, definition, and function of the scapula, also known as the shoulder blade. It explains how the scapula connects the upper extremity to the trunk and articulates with the humerus and clavicle. The tutorial details the anatomical features of the scapula, including its angles, borders, and bony features like the subscapular fossa and spine. It also discusses important projections such as the coracoid process and acromion, and tubercles like the supraglenoid and infraglenoid. The video concludes with a call to explore more resources on Kenhub.
