diamter t spine verterpae
transvese = A/P
height t spine vertebrae
higher posteriorly than anterior forms kyphosis
Costal facets of t spine
which
function
ON SIDE OF BODY
superior = WB
Inferior= demi facet placeholder
t spine vertebral foramen
small
lamina t spine
short and thivk
overlap eachother
SP t spine
POSTERIOR and INFERIOR
overlap
articular process t spine
SUPERIOR process:
posterior , superior and Lateral
convex
iINFERIOR:
inferior, medial and anterior
concave
facet jt t spine
60 degrees
*rotation limit by ribs
TP of t spine
LATERAL and POSTERIOR
bulbous tp
OVAL FACETS FOR ARTICULATION WITH TUBERCLES OF CORRESPONDING RIBS
WHY issues with rib 1
1st vertebrae of t spine holds it all by itself
2 circular facet e side instead of superior and inferior
*superior facet faces up and back
***SP is thick and long and horizontal
LONGEST TP in THORACIC SPINE
T9-does it articulate with rib 10?
no
absent demi facets
T10 -what it holds
does it touch rib 11?
takes all the weight of rib 10
doesnt articulate rib 11
**NO INFERIOR COSTAL FACET
T11 -what it holds
do TP have articular facets?
holds all weight of rib 11
no
T12
what it hold
special function
all weight of rib 12
2 costal facets for rib 12
bridge thoracic and lumabr vertebrae : superior facet like thoracic and inferior like lumbar
which ribs attach manubrium or body of sternum?
1-7
TRUE RIBS
which ribs attach to bottom of superior rib?
8-10
FALSE RIBS
which ribs floaters?
11-12
FLOATING RIBS
3 rib functions
- stiffen and strengthen thoracic spine
- protect cavity for heart, lungs, and great vessels
- provide attachment for muscles needed for posture, respiration, UE function
rib head
how many facets and ridge?
2 articular facets
ridge = called a crest of the head
crest of the rib
articulates with the IV discs by intra-articular ligament
- -attached by ligament to disc
- -crest is point of articulation w disc at motion segment
facets on the rib
which correspons with corrresponding vertebrae?
2
the inferior facet of the rib with the same number vertebae
does superior articular facet correspond to vertebrae above or below?
ABOVE (to the placeholder)
where is angle of rib?
go out 5-6cm
where does rib articulate with TP?
anterior to TPof same # vertebae
tubercle of rib
medial
lateral
medial: smooth convex articulate with same # TP
lateral: rough non articular for lateral costal transverse ligament
body /shaft of rib
5-6cm beyond tubercle
point of most change in curvature is the angle of the rib
what attach angle of rib
iliocostalis muscle
where on rib spot for nerve and artery and vein?
costal groove
rib 1
MOST CURVED
SHORTEST
BROADEST
NO ANGLE OR COSTAL GROOVE
-muscles attach
rib 2
THINNER AND 2X LONGER THAN 1ST RIB
muscles attach
barely rib angle
