CSD 155 LAB 3: Respiratory Framework Flashcards
respiration
an exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen, provides the power for speech production
spinal/vertebral column
32-34 individual vertebra (
24 true vertebrae
7 cervical - base of cranium, top of thorax
C1 (atlas): supports head
C2 (axis): allows rotation of the head, the atlas pivots around the axis
12 thoracic - connects to ribs, back of thorax
5 lumbar - between thorax and top of pelvis (lower back)
9-10 modified vertebrae
5 sacral: fuse to form sacrum
4 coccygeal/coccyx (can be 3-5)
body
stacks on each other
vertebral/neural foramen
opening where spinal cord passes through
transverse process
attachment site for muscles and ligaments
spinous process
attachment site for muscles and ligaments
rib cage
skeletal framework of the thorax, includes 12 thoracic vertebrae, the sternum, and the 12 ribs
sternum (breastbone)
manubrium: superior portion, first rib connects here
corpus: body, middle portion, largest part of the sternum
xiphoid: small, inferior, cartilaginous portion
ribs
12 pairs total
true ribs
1-7, attach directly to the sternum
false
8-10, attach indirectly to the sternum via the costal cartilage of rib 7
floating
11-12, do not attach to the sternum at all
shoulder girdle
clavicle, scapula
clavicle (collar bone)
articulates with the sternum and the scapula
scapula (shoulder blade)
acromion - process that connects the scapula to the clavicle
coracoid - major muscle attachment site
