Scapula (left & right) (Lateral view)		The spine of the scapula divides the lateral surface into the anterior supraspinous fossa and the posterior infraspinous fossa. The acromion is a finger-like extension of the spine that points ventrally. The larger metacromion extends to the posterior. These two processes are important sites for muscle attachment.
Scapula (left & right) (Dorsal view)		In this view the acromion is clearly visible as an extension of the spine . The head of the humerus articulates with the scapula at the glenoid fossa.
Scapula (left & right) (Medial view)		The medial surface of the scapula is often ridged. The glenoid fossa and metacromion are clearly visible. Return to forelimb Return to tutorial
