Thoracic wall Flashcards
thoracic wall framework
thoracic cage
posterior boundary of thorax
thoracic part of verteb column
anterior boundary of thorax
sternum and costal cartilage
lateral boundary of thoras
ribs and intercostal cartilage
superior border of thorax
suprapleural membrane
inferior border of thorax
diaphragm
sternum is divided into 3 parts
manubrium
body
xiphoid
manubrium articulates with body at what
manubriosternal joint
manubriosternal joint found at what level
T3-4 vertabra
manubrium articulates with what
body
clavicle
1st costal cartialge
upper of 2nd costal
body articulates with xiphoid at what
xiphisternal joint
xiphisternal joint found at what level
T9
found at each side of body of sternum
2nd to 7th costal cartialge
no ribs or cartilage attached to it
xiphoid process
formed by the articulation of the ,anubrium and body
angle of Louis (sternal angle)
this lies at the level of the 2nd costal cartilage
transverse ridge
sternal ngle found at what level
between T4-5 vertebra
alin ang true ribs
1-7
alin ang false ribs
8 9 10
alin ang floating ribs
11 12
aling part ng rib ang sharp and thin
inferior border
aling part ng rib ang rounded and smooth
superior border
itsura ng typical rib
long, twisted flat bone
part of the ribs that accomodates the intercostal nerves and vessels
costal groove
parts of ribs
head neck tubercle shaft angle
saan ang costal groove taas o baba
baba border
alin ang dumidikit sa vertebra
head ng rib
clinical importance of 1st rib
close to subclavians
what crosses anterior to scalenus anterior
subcla vein
what crosses posterior to scalenus anterior
subclav artery and lower trunk for bachial plxus
cartilages of 11 and 12 rib end in
abdominal musculature
in old age, costal cartilages lose elasticity due to
superficial calcification
connects rib head to intervertebral disc
intraarticular ligament
articulates via transverse process of the corresponding vertebra
tubercle
articulate with one another along their borders by small synovial joints
6-10th costal
joint type of sternoclavicular joint
synovial double plane joint
articular disc of the sternoclav joint
flat fibrocartilaginous disc
accesory ligaments of the sternoclav joint
costoclavicular ligament
this is formed from junction of 1st rib with the 1st costal to the inferior surface of sternal end of clavicle
costoclavicular ligament
nerve supply to sternoclav joint
supraclav nerve and nerve to subclavius
lies opposite the lower border of T2 vertebra and felt between prominent medial ends of clavicles
suprasternal notch
this rib lies deep to the clavicle and cannot be palapted
1st rib
can be used to identify a particular rib by counting from below
12th rib
