Osteology, Arthrology and Myology Flashcards
True ribs
1 - 7
-attach directly from vertebral segments via their own costal cartilage
False ribs
8, 9, 10
-attach from vertebral segments to join the costal cartilage immediately superior to that segment
Floating ribs
11, 12
-do not attach to the sternum at all
Atypical ribs
1, 2, 10, 11, 12
Typical ribs
3rd - 9th Have: Head - articulates with thoracic vertebrae Neck Tubercle Body - costal groove and angle
3 parts of rib head
Superior facet
Crest of head
Inferior facet
1st rib tubercle
Scalene tubercle
Right in between
grooves for subclavian v and a
2nd rib tuberosity
Tuberosity of serratus anterior
Superior thoracic aperture
Thoracic inlet
Communication between the neck and thorax
Inferior thoracic aperture
Irregular communication between thorax and abd
Contents - esophagus, IVC, aorta
Boundaries - T12, 11th and 12th ribs, 7-10th costal cartilages and xiphisternal joint
3 Primary divisions of thoracic cavity
2 pulmonary cavities - lungs and pleurae
Mediastinum - centrally contains - heart, thoracic great vessels, trachea, thoracic esophagus and thymus
3 Parts of sternum
Manumbrium
Body
Xiphoid process
Suprasternal notch
superior border of manubrium
Sternal angle (of Louis)
Junction of manubrium and body
Manubrium costal notches
1st and half of 2nd
Body of sternum costal notches
half of 2nd
3rd-6th
half of 7th
Xiphoid process costal notches
half of 7th
Costal groove
Part of body of rib
Houses intercostal nerve and vessels
Costal angle
Part of body of rib
Most common site of fracture
Superior CostalDemifacet on thoracic vertebral body articulates
with Inferior articular facet rib of the same number
Crest of the head of the rib
Separates the two articular facets
Most common place for a rib fracture
Costal angle of the middle ribs
Supernumery ribs
In cervical region: thoracic outlet syndrome
-due to close proximity to BP and subclavian a.
11th and 12th rib
Only possess single facet on head
NO tubercle or neck
Do not attach to sternum
