Anatomical terms of bone

The supraglenoid tubercle is a region of the scapula from which the long head of the biceps brachii muscle originates.[1][2] It is a small, rough projection superior to the glenoid cavity near the base of the coracoid process. The term supraglenoid is from the Latin supra, meaning above, and glenoid, meaning socket or cavity.[3]
