clavicle; 1st and 2nd rib
The manubriosternal joint is also called the ____, and the second rib articulates here
sternal angle
The body of the sternum has a joint connecting it to the xiphoid process and the joint is called
the xiphisternal joint
Ribs 1-10 develop from 4 ossification centers. The one primary center is ____; the three secondary ossification centers are for the ____, ______, and _____
the body of the rib; head, articular part of the tubercle, non-articular part of the tubercle
The joints joining the ribs and vertebrae are ____, which allows rotation of the head of the rib on the vertebral body as the ribs elevate or depress
Costovertebral joints are plane synovial
The heads of the ribs 1, 11, and 12 (maybe 10) articulate with ____
just the vertebrae of the same number
The heads of ribs 2-9 articulate with _____
the vertebrae of the same number and the vertebrae above
The joint between the tubercle of the rib and the costal facet of the transverse process of the same numbered vertebrae is considered a _____ joint; at the superior and middle joints (ribs 1-7) the movement that occurs is ____; at the inferior joints (ribs 8-10) the movement that occurs is ____ (when the ribs are elevated or depressed)
plane synovial; rotation; gliding
The costochondral joints, located between costal cartilages and anterior ends of ribs, are ____ joints which allow flexibility but ____
primary cartilaginous joints; no movement
The interchondral joints, located _____, are plane synovial joints which allow _____ movement
between costal cartilages; no movement
The first sternocostal joint is a ____ and allows ___ movement
primary cartilaginous joint; no movement
2nd-7th sternocostal joints are ____ joints and allow ____movement
plane synovial joints; no movement
The sternocostal joints join ____ and ____
costal cartilage of ribs to costal notches in sternum
The manubriosternal joint is a ___ joint between the manubrium and the body of the sternum; it allows ____ movement
secondary cartilaginous joint; no movement
the xiphisternal joint is a ____ joint between the body of the sternum and the xiphoid process; it allows ____ movement
primary cartilaginous joint; no movement
The clavicle is the only bony connection between the upper arm and thorax; it connects these with the _____ and ____ joints
acromioclavicular joint (joins the clavicle and acromion of the scapula) and the sternoclavicular joint (joints the sternum and the clavicle)
The clavicle ossifies with _____ ossification; its primary centers are medial and lateral, and its secondary center is at the sternal end
intramembranous ossification
This is a saddle synovial joint with an articular disk, but it functions as a ball-and-socket joint. It allows flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumflexion, and rotation the upper arm
Sternoclavicular joint (the sternal end of the clavicle and the clavicular notch of the manubrium)
This is a plane synovial joint with an articular disk that allows slight gliding between the clavicle and scapula
Acromioclavicular joint (acromial end of clavicle and acromion process of scapula)
This ligament forms the joint capsule of the sternoclavicular joint
sternoclavicular ligament
This ligament forms the joint capsule of the acromioclavicular joint
acromioclavicular ligament
This ligament stretches from the coracoid process of the scapula to the acromion process of the scapula
Coracoacromial ligament
