Description

The coracoid process is the thick, curved, anterior projection that extends from the head and neck of the scapula. It provides origin sites for the coracobrachialis and short head of biceps brachii muscles, and an insertion site for the pectoralis minor muscle. It also provides attachment sites for the coracoacromial, coracohumeral and coracoclavicular ligaments.
