Answer 1

Answer:

"The prominent bony ridge that you can palpate across the posterior surface of the scapula is the scapular spine".

Explanation:

A scapula is a plane and triangular bone located in the superior and posterior part of the thorax. The posterior face of the bone is divided into the supra-spiny fossa and infra-spiny fossa. These two areas are divided by the scapular spine. This is a bony formation that goes from medial to the lateral side of the scapula and finishes in one of the extremes as a bulky prominence called acromion.

The spine is easily palpable through the skin.
