Posterior - superior view
Posterior view, anatomical positionThe superior angle of the scapula is at the level of the spinous process of
thoracic vertebra 2. It is where the medial and superior borders of the
scapula meet. The superior angle of the scapula is of
functional importance because it is the insertion for:
1. the levator scapulae ventralis muscle,
