Originate from the superior border of a rib Insert on the inferior border of the rib above
165
Fibers are oriented at right angles to the external intercostal muscle (angle up and in) Depress the rib cage, which is important in forced expiration

Internal intercostal muscles Fibers are oriented at...
....right angles to the external intercostal muscle (angle up and in)
167
Originate from the sternum Insert on cartilages of ribs 2 - 6 Depress the ribs
Transverse thoracic muscles
168
Transverse thoracic muscles Origination? Insertion? Action?
Originate from the sternum Insert on cartilages of ribs 2 - 6 Depress the ribs
169
Innermost layer of ribs have two types of muscles
Subcostal muscles Innermost intercostal muscles
170
Subcostal muscles bridge two intercostal spaces, and probably elevate the ribs, making them muscles of inspiration Innermost intercostal muscles bridge an intercostal space, and are probably muscles of expiration
Innermost layer

Nerves of the thoracic wall The 12 pairs of thoracic spinal nerves supply the thoracic wall. The general distribution in the thoracic wall reflects the structure of the thoracic cage in that the nerves—intercostal nerves—run in the...

Upon leaving the intervertebral foramina the spinal nerves divide into....
anterior and posterior primary rami.
173
of nerves T1 –T11 form the intercostal nerves.
The anterior rami
174
pass posteriorly to supply the joints, muscles, and skin of the back in the thoracic region
The posterior rami
175
Cutaneous innervation to the thoracic wall: Are generally supplied by dorsal roots of spinal nerves C5 and T1 – T6 C5 and T1 also supply the upper limb Which part of thorax?
Dermatomes of the anterior thorax

Dermatomes of the anterior thorax Are generally supplied by dorsal roots of spinal nerves... __ and ___ also supply the upper limb
....C5 and T1 – T6 C5 and T1
177
Dermatome landmarks for the thorax and abdomen jugular (suprasternal) notch and clavicles (actually, the clavicles generally coincide with the boundary between C4 and C5) Which dermatome?
C5

182
Dermatome landmarks for the thorax and abdomen umbilicus Which dermatome?
T10
183
is the most superior dermatome of the back that does not supply the upper limb.
T1 Just count sequentially up or down from there.
184
The general pattern of vascular distribution in the thoracic wall reflects the structure of the thoracic cage in that the arteries—intercostal arteries—run in the intercostal spaces parallel to the ribs
Arteries of the thoracic wall
185
Intercostal arteries: Arise from the aorta Travel toward the anterior thorax, giving off a lateral cutaneous branch
Posterior intercostal arteries
186
Intercostal arteries: Is a branch of the subclavian artery Gives rise to the anterior intercostal artery, which anastamoses with the posterior intercostal arteries from the aorta (just discussed) Gives rise to perforating cutaneous branches that supply the skin in that area
Internal thoracic artery
187
Internal thoracic artery Gives rise to the ? Which anastamoses with? Also gives rise to this which supply the skin?
Gives rise to the anterior intercostal artery, which anastamoses with the posterior intercostal arteries from the aorta (just discussed) Gives rise to perforating cutaneous branches that supply the skin in that area
188
Veins of the thoracic wall Intercostal veins accompany the intercostal arteries (and nerves) They lie ____ in the costal grooves Each side has . . which two veins anastamose?
most superior ....Eleven posterior intercostal veins Eleven anterior intercostal veins Anterior and posterior intercostal veins anastamose
189
Veins of the thoracic wall: The _______ are tributaries of the internal thoracic veins (the internal thoracic veins accompany the internal thoracic arteries)
anterior intercostal veins
