Identify the structure with the star.
tubercle
Identify the structure with the red arrow
costal groove
articulate with inferior and superior costal facets of adjacent thoracic vertebrae
head
term used to describe a group of disorder that occur when there is compression, injury, or irritation of the brachial plexus and/or subclavian vessels in the lower neck and upper chest
thoracic outlet syndrome
This structure separates the ribs and costal cartilages
intercostal space
__ to ___ are TRUE ribs
1-7
___ to ___ have cartilages attached to cartilages of ribs superior.
8-10
Floating ribs are which number?
11-12
space between the pericardium and the sternum
anterior mediastinum
pericardium and heart lie in this part of the thoracic cavity
middle mediastinum
part of the body between the neck and abdomen including the cavirty enclosed by the ribs, breastbone and dorsal vertebrae and containing the chief organs of circulation and respiration, the chest
the thorax
Identify all the features of the generalized vertebra
see slide 17 thoracic wall MC
which muscle lies between the ribs?
intercostal muscles
function during respiration both by moving the ribs and by helping to keep the intercostal spaces rigid
intercostal muscles
5 muscles included in the intercostal muscles
- ) external intercostal
- ) internal intercostal
- ) innermost intercostal
- ) subcostal
- ) transversus thoracis
elevate ribs during forced inspiration
external intercostals
internal and innermost intercostals are separated from the innermost layer by the ____.
neurovascular bundle
Identify muscles in green
subcostalis
functions to depress ribs
transversus thoracis
where is/are the primary blood supply to the thoracic wall derived from?
aorta and subclavian arteries
most of these veins return blood to the azygous and hemiazygous veins
posterior intercostal veins
an area of the skin supplied by the nerves from a single spinal root
dermatomes
a procedure to remove fluid from the space between the lining of the outside of the lungs and the wall of the chest
thoracentesis
origin is the transverse processes; insertion: rib below b/w tubercle and angle; action: elevates ribs
levator costae
