Hyoid Bone

Scapulae (Shoulder Blades)
The posterior surface of the scapula has a prominent spine (palpate)
The spine terminates laterally at the acromion process
The acromion articulates with the acromial end of the clavicle forming the
acromioclavicular joint
The coracoid process anchors the biceps
The suprascapoid notch allows a passage way for nerves
The infraspinous, supraspinous, subscapular fossae are sites for muscle
