Lab 2/Lab 3 Flashcards
Axial skeleton
Articulates pelvic girdle and serves as the attachment site for muscular sling that holds shoulder girdle; protects major organs
Head, neck, thoracic cage, spine
Appendicular skeleton
Supports the attachments and functions of the arms and legs
Appendages, clavicle, pelvis
Cervical spine
C01 (Atlas)-C07
Thoracic spine
T01-T12
Lumbar spine
L01-L05
Sacrum
S01-S05
True ribs
Attach directly to the sternum and are the first seven ribs that form part of the thoracic cage, have intercostal cartilage
False ribs
The five inferior pairs of ribs that have shared costal cartilage
Sternal angle (manubriosternal joint)
It marks the point at which the costal cartilages of the second rib articulate with the sternum. This is particularly useful when counting ribs to identify landmarks as rib one is often impalpable.
Inspiratory muscles
Diaphragm, External intercostal, Serratus anterior
Expiratory muscles
Internal intercostal, Serratus posterior inferior
Main body cavities
Cranial, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic
Cranial cavity
Contains the brain and spinal cord
Thoracic cavity
Separated from the abdomen by the diaphragm
Contains three sacs, two for the lungs (pleural sacs) and one for the heart (pericardial sac)
Abdominal cavity
No major separation between abdomen and pelvis. Thus these cavities are usually referred to as the abdominopelvic cavity
