Joints and Random Flashcards
Passive expiration
Muscles relax, intrathoracic volume decreases, and intrathoracic pressure increases, intra-abdominal pressure decreases
What are the three types of ribs and their corresponding numbers?
True (vertebrocostal) ribs: 1-7
False (vertebrochondral) ribs: 8-10
Floating (free) ribs: 11-12
Passive inspiration
Muscles contract, intrathoracic volume increases, and intrathoracic pressure decreases, intra-abdominal pressure increases
“Pump handle movement”
Anteroposterior (AP) dimension - anterior ends of ribs and sternum (especially inferior end) rise like a pump handle
“Bucket-handle movement”
Transverse dimension - thorax increases slightly raising the most lateral parts of the ribs (especially the most inferior ones)
Vertical dimension
Increases during inspiration and the diaphragm descends and returns to normal position during expiration
