the center point of AP scapula:
- a. mid scapula.
- b. 2 inches inferior to coracoid's process.
- c. a & b
- d. 2 inches superior r to acromium
the answer is C
The center point of the anteroposterior (AP) scapula is approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) inferior to the coracoid process. The coracoid process is a hook-like projection of the scapula that is located at the superolateral (upper-outer) corner of the shoulder. It is palpable just below the clavicle, near the lateral border of the pectoralis major muscle.
To locate the center point of the AP scapula, first identify the coracoid process. Once you have located the coracoid process, measure down 1 inch (2.5 cm). This is the center point of the AP scapula.
Mid scapula:
The mid scapula is the point on the scapula that is equidistant from the superior and inferior margins, and the medial and lateral borders. It is typically located at the level of the spine of the scapula.
To locate the mid scapula, first identify the superior and inferior margins, and the medial and lateral borders of the scapula. Once you have identified these landmarks, use a ruler to measure the distances between them. The mid scapula is located at the point where these distances intersect.
Summary:
The center point of the AP scapula is approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) inferior to the coracoid process, and the mid scapula is the point on the scapula that is equidistant from the superior and inferior margins, and the medial and lateral borders.
