Physical diagnosis, including diseases of the thoracic and abdominal organs : a manual for students and physicians .. . scapular region, including the supraspinous andinfraspinous fossae, is limited above by the superiorboundary of the posterior surface, below by a horizontalline passing through the angle of the scapula, internallyby a vertical line corresponding approximately with theinternal border of the scapula and externally by thelateral boundary of the posterior surface. The interscapular region is that part of the posteriorsurface above the horizontal line through the angle ofthe scapula and between the scapular regions. The infrascapular or subscapular region is the re-mainder of the posterior surface. The right and left interscapular and subscapularregions are separated by the vertebral spines. (Fig. 2.) The lateral surface is bounded above by the line of 20 ANATOMICAL. -junction of the nnder-surface of the arm with thetrunk, anteriorly by the lateral boundary of the anteriorsurface, posteriorly by the lateral boundary of the pos-terior surface and below by the inferior costal margin. Fig. Regions of the posterior surface of the chest. REGIONS OF THE LATERAL SURFACE. The axillary region is that part of the lateral surfacewhich lies above a line drawn from the inferior boun-dary of the mammary region to the angle of the scapula. The- infra-axillary region is the remainder of thelateral surface. TOPOGRAPHICAL AND RELATIONAL ANATOMY. 21 LINES. The following imaginary vertical lines are used formore definite location of various structures: The mammillary or nipple line. The midclavicular line,identical with the mammillaryline when the nipple occupies its typical position. The parasternal line, midway between the edge oi thesternum (sternal line) and the midclavicular line. The midaxillary line. The midscapular line.
