Lecture 6 Thoracic Wall and lungs Flashcards
Thoracic Cavity boundaries
Superior Boundary: thoracic outlet; root of neck
Inferior Boundary: the 3 openings
Inferior Boundary 3 openings
Caval: inferior vena cava crossing right dome T8 vertebral level
Esophageal Hiatus: T10 level, in right crus folding
Aortic hiatus: T12 level, by right and left crus of the diaphragm; median arcuate ligament
Thoracic vertebrae landmarks that articulate with ribs
-Demifacet articulates with ribs
- transverse process costal articulation with neck of rib
T1 has what for the first rib
1 full facet
T9-10 have no…
superior demifacet
T11/12 have no…
no facets on trans processes
What forms intervertebral foramen and what are its contents
The vertebral bodies and the sup/inf articulating processes form it, and It includes spinal nerves and arteries
The head of every rib except for (blank) have demifacets
1,10,11,12
How many full facets on the head of 1,10,11,12th rib
One on each
Which ribs have no tubercle on the neck?
11 and 12
Which rib articulates at the sternal angle (manubriosternal joint)
Rib 2
Which rib articulates with the facet on the xiphosternal joint
the 7th rib
The head of ribs and the demi/full facet on vertebrae form a
Costovertebral joint
The rib neck and the facet on the transverse process form a
Costotransverse joint
The inferior rib neck and superior transverse process are connected by
the Superior costotransverse ligament
This ligament is on the same level as the transverse process and the rib neck
Lateral/costotransverse ligament
Name the true ribs and where they articulate
1: manubrium
2: sternal angle
3-6: sternal body
7: xiphosternal junction
Name the false ribs and where they articulate
8-10: cartilage fused with 7th ribs cartilage (the costal margin)
11-12: floating
