Scapula

Dr. Morton, the Noted Anatomist, provides an in-depth tutorial on the scapula, also known as the shoulder blade. The video covers the scapula's primary bony landmarks, including the medial and lateral borders, subscapular fossa, acromion, and the acromioclavicular joint. It also explores the spine of the scapula, supraspinous and infraspinous fossae, glenoid cavity, and tubercles. The tutorial highlights the importance of these landmarks for muscle attachment and mobility, offering insights into anatomical terminology and the significance of understanding the scapula's structure.
