Q

rectus abdominis

A

six pack
helps to flex the torso FORWARD when it contracts.

INSERTION of rectus abdominis is: the
xiphoid process (of the sternum) & the costal
cartilages (of ribs 5-7).

Q

inhalation

A

is the process of bringing air INTO the body. During the process of inhalation, the size of the thoracic cavity gets BIGGER. This makes space for air to enter.

Q

Exhalation

A

s the process of forcing air OUT OF the body. During the process of exhalation, the size of the thoracic cavity gets SMALLER. As the thoracic cavity shrinks, the air that was inside the lungs is forced out

Q

True ribs

A

are directly connected to the sternum. (Recall from Lesson #4 that hyaline cartilage connective tissue is used to do this; it is called costal cartilage when it connects these true ribs to the sternum.) Ribs #1 - #7 are the true ribs of the thoracic cage.

Q

False ribs

A

False ribs are indirectly connected to the sternum. While they still have costal cartilages, their cartilages do NOT connect directly to the sternum; they connect to the costal cartilages of Ribs #1 - #7. Ribs #8 - #10 are the false ribs of the thoracic cage.

Q

Floating ribs

A

Floating ribs are NOT connected to the sternum at all. Floating ribs are really only visible on the posterior side of rib cage, and they do NOT have any costal cartilage. Ribs #11 & #12 are the floating ribs of the thoracic cage.
