where the manubrium joins the body of the sternum; horizontal ridge is formed
angle of louis
long, slender, curved bones that articulated w/the manubrium @ the medial aspect
clavicles
group of bony landmarks used in the respiratory assessment; circle the body and help form horizontal reference points; 12 pairs
ribs
1st 7 that attach to the sternum are called true ribs
ribs 8-10 attach to the cartilage of the superior rib
ribs 11/12 are free floating
located at the midline of the posterior portions of the thoracic cage; commonly called the spine

anterior thorax
5 imaginary vertical lines , vertebral line, right/left scapular, posterior axillary
posterior thorax
3 imaginary vertical lines, anterior/posterior axillary and mid-axillary lines
lateral thorax
how many right and left lung lobes?
right = 3 left = 2
congenital defect that results in a thin membrane that obstructs the nasal passages
choanal atresia
congenital defects of the cartilage in the larynx and trachea; air ways easily collapse
laryngomalacia and tracheomalcia

tracheal
harsh, high pitched
sound next to trachea, superior to each clavicle and in the first intercostal space?
bronchial
loud, high pitched
sound over major bronchi in the 2nd or 3rd intercostal spaces; between scapulae
