Q

Composed of 2 parts:
-Right Hemi____ comes higher than the left hemi____ due to the liver lying underneath it, pushing it up.
-As you breathe in, this flattens. As you exhale, it returns to normal position
-Supports the heart and lungs. Covers the Inferior Thoracic Outlet, supporting the structures resting on top of it.

Q

Divot on top of the Manubrium of the sternum formed by attachment on either side by the Sternocleidomastoid muscle.

A

Suprasternal Notch (Jugular Notch)

17
Q

Found on the sides of the Suprasternal Notch on the Manubrium. A right and left attachment for the clavicle to the manubrium
-Important joint for upper extremity movement: Sternoclavicular Joint

A

Clavicular Notch

18
Q

Found on the sides of the Manubrium of the sternum
-First rib articulates cleanly with the Manubrium

A

Notch for the Costal Cartilage of the 1st Rib

19
Q

Formed by the Body and Manubrium of the sternum articulating together.
-Slight bend occurs
-The manubrium and the body each contribute a demifacet that come together to form a wedge shaped depression that accommodates the costal cartilage of the 2nd rib.

A

Manubriosternal Joint/Sternal Angle/Angle of Louis

20
Q

Articulates with the demifacet of the manubrium and body of the sternum

A

2nd rib

21
Q

Contains notches (demifacets) for the 3-6th ribs costal cartilages.

A

Body of the Sternum

22
Q

Used to be a joint formed by cartilage, but as you age into teenage years, it ossifies.
-Easy to break off
-The location of the articulation of the 7th rib

A

Xiphisternal Joint (Body of the sternum and the Xiphoid Process)

23
Q

The body of the sternum and the xiphoid process for a little cup when they come together that accommodates the costal cartilage for the _____ rib

A

7th rib

24
Q

True Ribs

A

1-7

25
Q

Attach (via their costal cartilage) directly to the sternum

A

True Ribs

26
Q

False Ribs

A

8-10

27
Q

Attach to the sternum via the costal cartilage of the 7th rib

A

False Ribs

28
Q

Floating Ribs

A

11-12

29
Q

Ribs that do not attach to the sternum, but instead the ends are tipped with cartilage and hang loose. they are attached to the vertebral column, but the sternal end just comes to a stop.

A

Floating Ribs

30
Q

Typical Ribs

A

Ribs 3-9

31
Q

All look alike, can’t differentiate between them
-Head: Wedge shaped
-Neck
-Tubercle: bump with facet (tubercular facet - articulates with the facet on the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra)
-Angle: sharp turn
-Costal Groove: runs underneath rib, cradles the intercostal vein/artery/nerve
-Sternal Extremity: has costal cartilage to articulate with the sternum

A

Typical Ribs

32
Q

Short, stubby, and flatter than the other ribs
-No angle, C-Shaped
-Scalene Tubercle: bump where the Anterior and Middle Scalene muscles attach
-No costal groove (even though it does have intercostal vessels and nerves)
-Kidney bean shaped

A

Rib 1

33
Q

Flat rib, but not the most flat. Angle is closer to the tubercle

A

Rib 2

34
Q

Rib that does not have an articular facet on its tubercle, since it doesn’t articulate with the transverse process of the vertebrae
-False rib, doesn’t attach directly to the sternum

A

Rib 10

35
Q

Ribs do not have a tubercle, since there is no articulation

A

Ribs 11-12

36
Q

Rib that does not have a tubercle AND does not have a costal groove. V/A/N are located more out in the abdomen

A

Rib 12

37
Q

Gliding, Plane type of movement
-Contain demifacets: Superior and Inferior
-Bodies fit together and demifacets make a cup that accommodates the head of the rib
-Rib is named in terms of the lower vertebra of the two it fits on

A

Vertebrocostal Joints

38
Q

Joints found in Ribs 1-9
-Tubercle articulates with the facet of the transverse process of the lower of the two ribs
-Ex: Rib 7 fits in between T6 and T7

A

Transversocostal Joints (Gliding Joints)

39
Q

Cartilaginous Joints that allow the chest wall to expand as you breathe. Similar to the vertebral joints
-No movement, just expansion/retraction of the chest wall

A

Sternocostal Joints (Chondrosternal Joints)
