Detailed explanation-1: -The scapula is a flat, triangular-shaped bone (colloquially as the “shoulder blade"). It is located in the upper thoracic region on the dorsal surface of the rib cage. It connects with the humerus at the glenohumeral joint as well as the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint to form the shoulder joint.
Detailed explanation-2: -Flat bones [like those of the calvarium (skull) and the scapula] and foci of woven bone are formed by intramembranous ossification. In this process, bone is laid down directly in the mesenchymal collagenous matrix rather than by transmutation of a preformed cartilage model.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flat bones are made up of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. They have a flat shape, not rounded. Examples include the skull and rib bones.
Detailed explanation-4: -The scapula is situated in the dorsal part of the thorax. Scapula is a large triangular shaped, flat bone. It lies between the second and the seventh ribs.
