The following muscles attach to the SCAPULA

The following muscles attach to the scapula:

Muscle	Direction	Region
Pectoralis Minor	insertion	coracoid process
Coracobrachialis	origin	coracoid process
Serratus Anterior	insertion	medial border
Triceps Brachii (long head)	origin	infraglenoid tubercle
Biceps Brachii(short head)	origin	coracoid process
Subscapularis	origin	subscapular fossa
Rhomboid Major	insertion	medial border
Rhomboid Minor	insertion	medial border
Levator Scapulae	insertion	medial border
Trapezius	insertion	spine of scapula
Deltoid	origin	spine of scapula
Supraspinatus	origin	supraspinous fossa
Infraspinatus	origin	infraspinous fossa
Teres Minor	origin	lateral border
Teres Major	origin	lateral border
Latissimus Dorsi (a few fibers)	origin	inferior angle
Omohyoid	origin	superior border

 

 

The infraspinatous fossa (infraspinatus fossa, infraspinous fossa) of the scapula is much larger than the supraspinatous fossa; toward its vertebral margin a shallow concavity is seen at its upper part; its center presents a prominent convexity, while near the axillary border is a deep groove which runs from the upper toward the lower part.

The medial two-thirds of the fossa give origin to the Infraspinatus; the lateral third is covered by this muscle.
