marks the superior end of the scapula
suprascapular notch
located near the base of the coracoid process
glenoid fossa
shallow, circular depression located on the lateral surface of the glenoid process, designed for mobility
superaglenoid tubercle
small bump located at the superior edge of the glenoid process, attachment site for the long head of the biceps brachii

forms most of the posterior surface of the scapula; attachment site of the infraspinatus muscle
spinoglenoid notch
located at the lateral border of the horizontal part of the scapular spine
anatomical neck
constricion surrounding the head of the humerus to which the fibrous capsule of the glenohumeral joint attaches, separates the head of the humerus from the greater and lesser tubercles
surgical neck
a narrow part of the shaft of the humerus inferior to the anatomical neck and the tubercles
head
large, conspicuous, hemispherical-shaped process at the very proximal end of the humerous
medial sypracondylar crest
narrow glange extending superiorly from the medial epicondyle
lateral supracondylar crest
narrow glange extending superiorly from the lateral epicondyle
medial epicondyle
small bump that lies immediately proximal to the medial condyle at the distal end of the humerus
lateral epicondyle
small bump lies immediately proximal to the lateral condyle at the distal end of the humerous
deltoid tuberosity
slightly raised, roughened sometimes V shaped crest found about a third of the way down on the lateral surface of the humerus, distal attachment site for the deltoid muscle
greater tubercle
large rounded projection found on the anterior lateral side at the proximal end of the humerus
lesser tubercle
smaller than the greater tubercle and located medial to it
bicipital groove
deep groove that seperates the greater and lesser tubercles; contains the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle
crest of greater tubercle
lateral lip of intertubercular groove
crest of lesser tubercle
medial lip of intertubercular groove
capitulum
spool shaped process on the lateral condyle of the humerus; "pulley", articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna
radial fossa
depression on the distal anterior surface of the humeral shaft above the capitulum that receives the head of the radium during elbow flexion
coronoid fossa
deep depression on the distal anterior surface of the humeral shaft above the trochlea that receives teh coronoid process of the ulna during extreme elbow flexion
radial groove
shallow groove that contains the radial nerve and the deep brachial artery
olecranon fossa
deep depression on teh posterior surface of the distal humerus located above the trochlea. receives the olecranon process of hte ulna during elbow extension
