anterior upper lungs:
between ribs 3-4 close to the sternum
anterior lower lungs:
between ribs 4-5 close to the sternum
anterior bronchus (esophagus and thyroid):
between ribs 2-3 close to the sternum
anterior nose:
costochondral junction of 1st rib
anterior tonsils
between 1st and 2nd ribs (1st intercostal space) close to the sternum
anterior sinuses:
3 ½” from the sternum, on the upper edge of 2nd rib and in the 1st intercostal space
- anterior middle ear/otitis media
upper edge of the clavicle, just lateral where it crosses the 1st rib
anterior pharynx:
front of 1st rib ¾-1” medial to where the clavicle crosses the1st rib
anterior larynx:
upper surface of 2nd rib, 2-3” lateral from the sternum
Posterior upper lungs:
intertransverse space, midway between spinous and transverse processes of the T3-T4 vertebrae
Posterior lower lungs
intertransverse space, midway between spinous and transverse processes of the T4-T5 vertebrae
Posterior Bronchus (esophagus, thyroid):
midway between the tip of the transverse process and spinous process of T2 on the posterior aspect of the transverse process
Posterior nose:
lateral aspect of the transverse process of C1
Posterior tonsils:
posterior surface of C1 transverse process, midway between the nuchal ligament and lateral most aspect of the C1 transverse process
Posterior sinuses:
midway between the tip of the transverse and spinous processes of C2 on the posterior aspect of the transverse process
Posterior middle ear:
(otitis media) upper edge of the posterior aspect of the tip of C1 transverse process
Posterior pharynx
midway between the spinous process and tip of the transverse process of C2, on the posterior aspect of the transverse process
