How do we know this is a thoracic sectional slice?
Seeing a little bit of the lungs and liver
What organ sits below the thoracic cavity before abdominal cavity?
The liver
Label 1-2
- Superior aperture-Thoracic inlet
- Inferior aperture-Thoracic outlet

- Rt 2nd rib
How can we tell this is the top of the thorax?
The trachea and humeral heads are visible
T/F
As you go lower in vertebral level, clavicles move closer together
True
Label 1
Lt. Costotransverse joint
Label 1
Rt. Costotransverse joint
Label 1-3
- Rt. Clavicle
- Superior thoracic aperture
- Lt. Transverse process
How do we know this image was taken more inferior in the thoracic cavity?
We know that this is more inferior because the lungs are more visible
Note the bottleneck of the contrast in the subclavian vein
What muscle is located between the ribs?
The intercoastal muscles
How do we know this image is taken lower in the thorax?
The larger vessels are visible
What muscle separates thoracic and abdominal cavity?
The diaphragm
Label 1
Diaphragm; right crus
What is this describing?
Connective tissue that connects the diaphragm to the lumbar spine
The Crus
T/F
We cannot identify the diaphragm without the crus
True
Where does the diaphragmatic crus come off the spine?
The anterior part of the lumbar spine
T/F
The diaphragm does not run over top of the liver.
False; the diaphragm does run over top of the liver
