N anatomy, the scapula plural scapulae or scapula; also known as shoulder bone, shoulder blade or wing bone is the bone that connects the humerus with the clavicle. Like their connected bones the scapulae are paired, with the scapula on either side of the body being roughly a mirror image of the other. In early Roman times, people thought the bone resembled a trowel, a small shovel.
