Regional Anatomy 1 Flashcards
trunk cavities are derived from
coelomic cavity
3 trunk cavities
pericardium, pleura, peritoneum
what separates the abdominal and thoracic cavities
diaphragm - derived from septum transversum
abdominal and pelvic cavity are
continuous - abdominopelvic cavity
ribs derived from
sclerotome - somites
how many ribs
12 pairs
true ribs
connect directly to the sternum
how many true ribs
7 pairs
false ribs
share cartilage of the rib above
how many false ribs
3 pairs
floating ribs
not connected
how many floating ribs
2 pairs
sternum derived from
somatopleure
top bit of the sternum
manubrium
middle bit of the sternum
body
bottom sword of the sternum
Xiphoid
costal margin
A shaped ventral margin
Thorax
○ Body region between the neck and abdomen, encased by the vertebrae, ribs, sternum and diaphragm
4 steps to partitioning the mediastinum
- Heart and diaphragm develop in the neck region
- Body wall expands faster than the lungs are growing, Creates more space for lungs to grow into
- Diaphragm migrates, Innervated by phrenic nerve (C3-5)
- Phrenic nerves: Stay around ~width of the vertebrae, Creates a bend in the thoracic coelom, Creates a pleura and pericardial areas
Each cavity and the organs within are lined with
mesothelium
§ Mesothelium
□ Serous secreting epithelium (lining) that reduces friction
□ Mesodermal in origin
Entails the purpose of all body cavity linings
what is the mediastinum
the area between the lungs
sternal angle
angle created at the interface between the manubrium and the sternal body
rib connecting to sternal angle
second rib
