Chest, Abdomen, and Pelvis Flashcards
6 structures the thoracic cavity includes
Pleural membranes Lungs Trachea Esophagus Pericardium Heart and great vessels
Thin double-layered sac which encloses the heart
Fluid is contained within the layers and lubricates the constantly rubbing surfaces
Pericardium
3 parts of the pleural membrane and cavity
Visceral pleura
Parietal pleura
Pleural cavity
Pleura that covers the lungs
Visceral pleura
Pleura that lines the ribcage and covers the upper surface of the diaphragm
Parietal pleura
Space between the two pleura that contains a small amount of fluid
Pleural cavity
Innominate artery
Brachiocephalic artery
3 parts of the bony thorax
Sternum/breastbone
Ribs (12)
Thoracic Vertebrae (12)
6 parts of the sternum
Manubrium Jugular Notch Clavicular Notch Body Sternal Angle Manubriosternal Junction Xiphoid Process
Cartilage that connects the sternum and the ends of the ribs
Costal cartilage
Ribs 1-7 that attach directly to the sternum
True ribs
Ribs 8-10 that do not attach directly to the sternum
False ribs
Ribs 11-12 that attach only to vertebrae
Floating ribs
Space between the ribs
Intercostal space
First part of the rib off the vertebrae
Head of the rib
Part just down from the head of the rib
Neck of the rib
Notch on the rib that contains a facet for articulation with transverse process
Tubercle of the rib
Shaft of the rib
Body of the rib
Allow the joining of the vertebrae and transverse process
Facets
End of the rib towards the vertebrae
Vertebral end
End of the rib towards the sternum
Sternal end
Where the ribs turns laterally
Angle of the rib
Groove located along the inferior and internal border of each rib
Costal groove

Sternoclavicular joint
Articulation that joins the head of the rib and the vertebral body
Costovertebral joint
Articulation between the tubercle of the rib and the transverse process
Costotransverse joint
Articulation between the anterior part of the rib and the costal cartilage
Costochondral joint
Articulation between the sternum and the costal cartilage
Sternocostal joint
