The head of the humerus may be felt deeply in the upper part of the axilla, especially in thin subjects with the arm slightly abducted, the forearm suported and the muscles relaxed.
The greater tubercle is the most lateral bony point of the shoulder region, and prevents a straight edge from touching simultaneously the tip of the acromion and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
The ulnar nerve can be traced accompanying the brachial artery to the level of insertion of coracobachialis where it begins to diverge heading behind the medial epicondyle, and then to the medial side of the coranoid process.

In this figure we have illustrated the outer or posterior surface of a dog’s scapula so that the difference in the acromion or upper process of the scapula between the human scapula and that of a dog or sheep may readily be considered.
For besides the fact that this process prevents an upward dislocation of the shoulder, it is an extremely safe bulwark for the shoulder joint, and serves perfectly for the origin and insertion of muscles [mm.
This process is rougher in the places I mentioned because the muscle makes a broader and stronger insertion there.

This joint is made up of two structures, the clavicle and the acromion process, which are maintained in relationship to each other by the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments.
Sometimes no part of the clavicle opposed the end of the acromion; then the patient, for all practical purposes, had a congenital subluxation or relaxation of the acromioclavicular joint.

This is the point where the clavicle articulates with a part of the scapula known as the acromion process forming the AC joint.

The only reason the typical student can raise her arm all the way to 180 degrees is that she unconsciously rotates her scapula upward as her humerus tilts up.

 Scapula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The spine is a prominent plate of bone, which crosses obliquely the medial four-fifths of the dorsal surface of the scapula at its upper part, and separates the supra- from the infraspinatous fossa.
The central part of the supraspinatous fossa and the upper part of the infraspinatous fossa, but especially the former, are usually so thin as to be semitransparent; occasionally the bone is found wanting in this situation, and the adjacent muscles are separated only by fibrous tissue.
The end of this hook is the site of attachment of many muscles, such as the coracobrachialis muscle.
