Welcome to a “scapula” Saturday feature.
In the 8:45am 5 stages class the lesson is Shoulder Blade (scapula) where we will learn more about this fascinating bone in the body through a process of look, listen, imagine. We will move through the developmental stages of embryonic, creeping, crawling, standing and walking to systemically integrate awareness, new learning and skills.
The body of the scapula (shoulder blade) is thin and translucent. This characteristic is due to the thinness of the bone, particularly in the infraspinous and supraspinous fossae, though the borders and spine are thicker.
Thin and translucent body:
The primary reason the scapula is considered translucent is that its main body is a very thin, flat plate of bone.
Fossae:
The two large depressions on the posterior surface, the supraspinous and infraspinous fossae, are where the bone is at its thinnest, making them the most translucent areas.
Thicker borders:
In contrast to the thin body, the borders of the scapula (medial, lateral, and superior) are thicker due to their function as origins and insertions for muscles.
