  2. costovertebral joints
  3. costotransverse joints
  4. interchondral joints (6-9)
33
Q

what type of joint is the manubriosternal joint

A

symphysis

@ sternal angle & 2nd costal notch

34
Q

what kind of joint is the xiphisternal joint

A

synchondrosis

@ 7th costal notch

35
Q

what do anterior and posterior radiate sternocostal Ls do

A

attach costal cartilage & radiate out to sternum

all sternocostal joints

36
Q

what type of joint is the 1st sternocostal joint

A

synchondrosis

37
Q

what kind of joint is the 2nd-7th sternocostal joints

A

planar synovial

38
Q

what kind of joint is the costovertebral joint

A

planar synovial

39
Q

how do the ribs articulate with vertebral segments

A

head of rib articulate with

  • superior costal facet of same numbered segment
  • inferior costal facet of one segment above

articulating facet of costal tubercle: same number T-vertebra

40
Q

which ligments help the costovertebral joints

A

radiate L: head of rib to vertebral body

intraarticular L: crest of head of rib to IV disc

41
Q

what type of joint is a costotransverse joint

A

planar synovial

(transverse process to rib)

42
Q

what two ligaments help the costotransverse joint

A

superior costotransverse L: neck of rib to transverse process one above

lateral costotransverse L: tubcle of rib to transverse process and same segment

43
Q

What is the purpose of the bucket handle movement and pump handle movement?

A

increase thoracic volume –> decreasing thoracic pressure –> inspiration

[up/out -> increase volume

down -> decrease volume]

44
Q

What is the bucket handle movement

A

elevation of LATERAL portion of rib –> increase transverse diameter of thorax

-move up and down

45
Q

what is the pump handle movement

A

elevation of STERNAL end of rib –> increase ant to post diameter of thorax

-move ant/post and slightly up/down

46
Q

what kind of joint is the costochondral joint

A

synchondrosis

47
Q

what is the difference btn a dislocation and seperation of rib
