Scapulo- (Scapul-, Scapulo-)

Scapulo- (Scapul-, Scapulo-) - a prefix denoting a shoulder blade. Terms with this prefix refer to anatomical structures located in the region of the scapula or related to the scapula.

For example:

  1. The scapuloclavicular joint (articulatio scapuloclavicularis) is the connection of the scapula and clavicle.

  2. The scapular muscle (musculus scapularis) is one of the muscles of the back.

  3. Scapular nerve plexus (plexus scapularis) is a nerve plexus that innervates the muscles of the scapular region.

Thus, the prefix scapula- is used to refer to the anatomical structures associated with the scapula. It helps to accurately localize the location and functions of these structures.



Scapul- (scapul-) is a Latin prefix meaning “scapula”. It is used as a prefix in anatomy and medicine.

In anatomy, scapula is a prefix to the names of bones, muscles, nerves and other organs that are associated with the scapula. For example, the scapuloclavicular muscle (m. scapuloclavicularis), the scapulohumeral muscle (m. subscapularis), the scapular nerve (n. scapularis), etc.

Also scapular is used in medical terminology to refer to diseases and conditions associated with the scapula, for example, scapular osteochondrosis, scapular cyst, scapular inflammation, etc.

Scapular is the Latin prefix for the shoulder blade, which is used in anatomy, medicine, and other areas related to this part of the body.



Scapular is an indefinite or difficult-to-use word in life that is rarely used or is used only in strictly limited contexts. Example: *scapular bone - small with a flat surface and scapula-shaped.\* If we expand the interpretation of the word “scapular”, then it becomes clear the relationship with the scapula not only of the bone structure, but also of the human hand and shoulders, including muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues fabrics. Just as the bones of the lower leg are connected to the bones of the foot through the ligaments of the ankle joint, the shoulder blade bones form the shoulder girdle with the collarbone through ligaments. In this regard, we can say that the scapula is a prefix designating this modified ligament, which ensures their coordinated work and mobility during breathing. Also, with the appearance of the shoulder blade, the muscles of the shoulder girdle and shoulder joint are formed. In this connection, the “lever principle” system is formed; it is used by the boat to lift weights, in order to pull the straps and row, shift the oars to control the craft. Thus, in the anatomy of human muscles, this ligament is called the scapular ligament. Using examples from anatomy
