subscapular
Beneath the scapula
Subscapular refers to the area beneath the scapula (shoulder blade).
In anatomy, the subscapular muscle lies on the front surface of the scapula, facing the ribs.
Medical contexts use the term for structures, nerves, or arteries in this region: subscapular artery, subscapular fossa.
The word appears mainly in clinical and anatomical descriptions.
