thorax Flashcards
ribs 1-7
true ribs
attach directly to the sternum by own costal cartilage
ribs 8-10
false
attach indirectly
ribs11-12
floating
don’t attach to the sternum
sternum
mannibrum
body
xiphoid process
thoracic inlet
superior opening
boarders- anterior mannibruim
lateral- 1st ribs/ costal cart
posterior- t1 vert
thoracic outlet
inferior opening
xipisternum joint- costal margin
2 floating ribs
t12 vert
closed off by thoracic diaphragm
manubriosternum joint
secondary cartilaginous
angled
slightly mobile
xiphisternum joint
secondary cartilaginous
slightly mobile
when we get older decrease mobility
1st sternocostal joint
between sternum and costal cart of ribs
primary cartilaginous- syndchondorsis
immoveable
don’t want to damage vessels that go through here
2nd-7th sternocostal joint
between sternum and costal cart of ribs
synovial plane multiaxial
gliding movements in breathing
costocondral joints
between ribs and cartilage
primary cartilaginous syndchondrosis
intercondral joints
6-10
6-7, 7-8, 8-9- synovial multiaxial plane
9-10- fibrous
costovertebral joints
synovial multiaxial plane
heads of ribs with boadies of the thoracic vert
1,10,11,12- articulate with single
rest articulate with superior and inferior vert
costotransverse joints
synovial multiaxial plane
articular tubercle of ribs with transverse process
small gliding movements
ribs 11/12- dont have tubercles so no articulation
radiate ligament
head of ribs to 2 adjacent vertebral bodies/ IVD
reinforce joint capsule
