REGIONAL DIVISIONS OF THE CHEST. 6V region is the space occupied by the scapula, and isdivided by the spinous ridge into the upper and lowerscapular space. The infra-scapular region is the por-tion below a horizontal line intersecting the lower angleof the scapula. The inter-scapular region is the spacebetween the posterior margin of the scapula and thespinal column. Owing to the great mobility of the scapula, the bound-aries of these regions are variable within considerablelimits, according to the position of the arms. The fore-going description is based upon the position of theshoulder-blades when the patient is in the erect posturewith the arms hanging at his sides. Laterally there are two regions, namely, the axillaryand the infra-axillary. The axillary region is
