What do the THORACIC VERTEBRAE articulate with?
The RIBS
What do the DEMIFACETS articulate with?
The HEAD of the RIB
What do the TRANSVERSE COSTAL FACETS articulate with?
The TUBERCLE of the RIB

They support more weight
What BONE is made up of 5 fused VERTEBRAE?
The SACRUM
What BONE does the AURICLE of the SACRUM articulate with?

What is the main purpose of the STERNUM?
To protect the HEART
What 2 NOTCHES can be found on the MANUBRIUM of the STERNUM?
The CLAVICULAR NOTCH and the JUGULAR NOTCH
Why would you want to avoid the XIPHOID PROCESS during CPR
Because it is easily broken off of the STERNUM
