Chapter 13 BD Flashcards
typical ribs
ribs with generalised structure - ribs 3 - 9
atypical ribs
ribs with special features 1,2,10,11,12
shape of anterior sternal end typical rib
oval and concave
how many facets on head typical rib
2 facets
- upper smaller for articulation with next higher vertebra
- lower larger facet for art with body of numerically corresponding vertebra
surfaces of neck typical rib
- anterior smooth
- posterior rough
borders of neck typical rib
- superior (crest of neck) is thin
- inferior border rounded
tubercle articulation typical rib
- medial part articulates w/ transverse process of corresponding vertebra - forms costotransverse joint
- lateral non art
surfaces of shaft typical rib
- outer: marked by oblique line
- inner: smooth, covered by pleura. marked by ridge continuous w/ lower border of neck
where is costal groove typical rib
b/w inner surface ridge and inferior border of neck
what does costal groove contain typ rib
posterior intercostal vessels and intercostal nerve
borders of shaft typical rib
- upper: thick, outer and inner lips
- lower
ossification of a typical rib
in cartilage from:
- one primary centre for shaft appears near angle at 8th week of intrauterine life
- 3 secondary centres 1 for head and 2 for tubercle. appear at puberty and unite with rest of bone after 20 years
which rib is shortest broadest and most curved
1st rib
surfaces of 1st rib
- superior: 2 shallow grooves separated by ridge forms scalene tubercle in inner corner
- inferior surface: smooth no costal groove
borders of 1st rib
- outer: thick convex
- inner: concave
head articulation 1st rib
body of 1st thoracic vertebra
tubercle articulation 1st rib
transverse process of 1st thoracic vertebra forms costo-transverse joint
ossification of 1st rib
- 1 primary centre for shaft at 8th week
- 2 secondary centres 1 for head 1 for tubercle. appear at puberty join bone at 20 yrs
features of 2nd rib
- length is 2x 1st rib
- sharply curved shaft
- non-art part of tubercle is small
- shaft has no twist
- large rough tubercle near middle
- upper border outer lip is rough
attachments of 2nd rib
- rough tubercle gives origin to 1.5 digitations of serratus anterior muscle
- rough part of upper border receives scalenus posterior insertion
10th rib features
- shorter than typ rib
- single facet on head for body of 10th thoracic vertebra
11th and 12th rib features
- short
- pointed ends
- no necks and no tubercles
- angle and costal groove poorly marked in 11, absent in 12th
ossification of 11th and 12th ribs
- 1 primary centre for shaft
- 1 secondary for head
CLINICAL: rickets cause
- inadequate mineralisation of bone matrix at growth plates due to increased bone resorption
CLINICAL: rickets effect
Deposition of unmineralised matrix causes widening of wrist + rachitic rosary (prominent costochondral junctions)
surfaces of manubrium
- anterior
- posterior
borders of manubrium
- superior: suprasternal + clavicular notches
- inferior: 2ndry cartilaginous joint with body of sternum
- 2 lateral:
—– primary cartilaginous joint with 1st costal cartilage
—– provides demifacet for art of upper part of 2nd costal cartilage
