attachment are enclosed by interrupted lines. Following the method of Gray (A) and 

 H. S. Williams (1), the origins are indicated by dots and the insertions by short lines. It is 

 easy to associate these two marks with the letters o and i, which form respectively the 

 initials of origin and insertion. 



The scapula affords origin to the following 10 muscles : Subscapularis, supraspinatus, 

 infraspinatus, mcditriccps, spino-deitvideus, acromio-deltoideus, tores (major), micostalis 



(teres minor), biceps and cora- 

 coideus. Upon it are inserted 

 the following 7 muscles : 

 Acromio-trapezius, spino-tra- 

 peziits, rhonJjvideus, serratus, 

 levator anguli scapulae, levator 

 claviculce and occipito-scapu- 

 laris. On the figure the in- 

 sertion area of the last named 

 muscle is represented as too 

 near the coraco-vertebral an- 

 gle. 



386. Cottitm Neck. 

 This is the thickened and 

 *7 slightly constricted portion of 

 /' the scapula connecting the 

 '' glenoid end or angle with the 

 body of the bone. According 

 to Quain (A, II, 83), its limits 

 are differently assigned by 

 anatomists and surgeons.

 The vascular foramen. There 

 may be 1, 2 or 3 of these fora- 

 mina upon the ental aspect,

obliquely so as to point toward 



the glenoid end of the bone, and at least one of them is traceable to the base of the 

 mesoscnpula. 



Fossa Glenoidea. See description of Fig. 45, 399. 



388. Fossa Subset ipulari*. This name is applied to the entire ental surface of the 

 boi.e ; as shown upon the figure, however, the muscle of the same name does not arise 

 from the whole area. Most of the margin of the fossa is more or less raised. The shaded 

 area represents a shallow longitudinal furrow which coincides nearly with the mesoscap- 

 ula (Fig. 44). 



Between the furrow and the coracoid margin are two well marked ridges for the attach- 

 ment of tendinous intersections of the M. siibscapularis ; there are usually other ridges 

 which are most distinct in old individuals. Near the glenoid margin is a prominent ridge 

 which separates the Fs. subocnp'/laris proper from the shallow furrow which gives origin 

 to the M. teres. The M. micostalis arises from the middle two fifths of the Mrg. glenoi- 

 deus, and its glenoid third gives origin to the M. meditriceps. 

 Metacromion. This is better shown in Fig. 44 and 45.
