Scapula.—A large, flat, and triangular bone upon the upper part of the back, and forming the shoulder, is called the Scapula, or Shoulder Blade. It has a high and narrow ridge running through its longest diameter, which is the bone so distinctly felt upon the shoulder and upper part of the back. Its only articulations are with the clavicle and humerus, the posterior part being kept in its place by mus- cles and ligaments. (Fig. 733 p. 58). 131. Humerus,—The Humerus is the bone of the upper arm or shoulder. (Fig. 74, p. 53.) It is a long bone with a cylindrical shaft, and has a rounded head for its upper ex- tremity. The lower extremity is flattened from before back- What two classes are they divided into? What do they all unite with behind? 129. What two bones does the Clavicle unit
