 between these two bands, and the intervening portion is then deficient. 



The superior transverse or suprascapular ligament (ligamentum transversum 

 scapulae superius) (Figs. 245 and 246) converts the suprascapular notch into a

 extremities, attached by one end to the base of the coracoid process, and by the 

 other to the inner extremity of the scapular notch. The suprascapular nerve 

 passes through the foramen; the suprascapular vessels pass over the ligament.
