The scapula itself is flat and in the canine is roughly rectangular with a point at the distal end where there is an articulation with the femur. The medial surface of the scapula is generally flat with small prominences facilitating the attachment of muscles including the subscapularis muscle (found within a shallow fossa) and the serratus ventralis.    

The scapula itself is flat and in the canine is roughly rectangular with a point at the distal end where there is an articulation with the humerus. The medial surface of the scapula is generally flat with small prominences facilitating the attachment of muscles including the subscapularis muscle (found within a shallow fossa) and the serratus ventralis. In the dog the caudal border of the scapula is thickened, particularly towards the distal extremity where the suprascapular nerve passes. Also at the distal end of the scapula but on the cranial aspect is the ''supraglenoid tubercule'' which projects cranially to the articulation with the humerus. This tubercle also gives rise to the muscular attachment of the biceps brachii.

 

 

The Scapula forms the basis of the shoulder region, providing points of attachment of extrinsic and intrinsic muscles. It is held in place by a synsarcosis of muscles and does not form a conventional articulation with the trunk. The spine culminates in the '''acromion'''. The scapular cartilage is comprised of only a very narrow rim.
