3. DSA- Ribs Flashcards
The _______ of a typical rib articulates with its own vertebra at the ________ costal facet, and articulates with the vertebra above at the ______ costal facet
Head; superior; inferior
______ = area of the rib between the head and the tubercle
Neck
______ = area of the rib that articulates with the transverse process of the corresponding vertebra
Tubercle
_____ = abrupt change in rib curvature
Angle
2 joints associated with anterior rib cage
Costochondral joint
Sternocostal joint
Which ribs only articulate with their own vertebrae, and NOT the one above?
1
10
11
12
Which ribs do NOT have tubercles, and therefore do not articulate with transverse processes?
11
12
Which ribs are considered atypical?
1
2
11
12
[sometimes 10]
Which ribs are considered typical?
3-9 [sometimes 10]
True ribs 1-7 have cartilage attachments to _______
False ribs 8-10 have cartilage attachments to the costal cartilage of the rib _______
Sternum
Above
T/F: floating ribs 11 and 12 have no anterior attachment
True
The sternal angle of the sternum is associated with which rib’s costal cartilage?
2
Which of the following is not associated with the ribs in some way?
A. Scalenes B. Pectoralis minor m. C. Serratus anterior m. D. Latissimus dorsi m. E. Quadratus lumborum m. F. All of the above are associated with the ribs
F. All of the above are associated with the ribs
Scalenes elevate 1st and 2nd rib
Pec minor originates on ribs 3,4,5
Serratus anterior inserts on ribs 2-8
Part of Lat dorsi originates on lower 4 ribs
Quadratus lumborum inserts on 12th rib, fixes it during inhalation
Which muscles associated with the ribs are involved in respiration?
External intercostals
Internal intercostals
Innermost intercostals
Diaphragm
Action of external intercostals
Elevate ribs during forced inspiration
Action of internal intercostals
Depression of ribs
Action of innermost intercostals
Depression of ribs
Action of diaphragm
Descends during inspiration
Differentiate the actions of the 3 scalene muscles
Anterior scalene and middle scalene elevate 1st rib
Posterior scalene elevates 2nd rib
How much of the rib cage circumference is covered by the following:
External intercostal mm.
Internal intercostal mm.
Innermost intercostal mm.
External = starts from spine around to costal cartilage
Internal = starts from rib angle to sternum
Innermost = starts from rib angle to costal cartilage
Which of the following is most superior in the costal groove on the inferior side of each rib (between the internal intercostal m. and the innermost intercostal m.)?
A. Intercostal nerve
B. Intercostal vein
C. Intercostal artery
D. Phrenic nerve
B. Intercostal vein
[VAN from superior to inferior]
Respiratory motion known as “bucket handle”
Moves superiorly and laterally
Increases transverse diameter
Ribs 1-2, 8-10
Respiratory motion known as “pump handle”
Moves superiorly and anteriorly
Increase A/P diameter

Downward; posterior
Respiratory motion of ribs 11 and 12 is _____ and _____ with exhalation
Upward and superior
