Q

Parts of the Body of the Sternum (the elongated middle portion of the sternum)

the subclavian vein goes up and over the first rib
the anterior scalene muscle attaches
the subclavian artery exits out up and over first rib (more lateral to vein)

Q

Why is it important to note the 1st rib relationships?

A

if this area is compressed- there could be numbness and tingling in some of the nerves of the brachial plexus, or they could have diminished pulses due to the constriction of the subclavian artery
-sometimes people have a 13th rib that is above the 1st rib, and it can lead to compression of this region

keep it in place so it can do it’s job

111
Q

the central tendon

A

the aponeurotic attachment where the muscle fibers of the Diaphragm all come in together (if it contracts, it causes the diaphragm to contract so the fibers will pull, and cause the diaphragm to flatten out and the lungs will expand and create a negative pressure so that the air can fill in the lungs

the left diaphragmatic crus arises from

A

(shorter than right)

starts on L3 and goes up to meet with the right diaphragmatic crus to help form aortic hiatus
