Costovertebral Joint Flashcards
What is the classification of the costovertebral joint?
synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodia)
What are the locations for costovertebral joints on the vertebra?
- costocentral joint at the vertebral body
- costotransverse joint at the transverse process
What is the classification of the costocentral joint?
synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodia)
What is the classification of the costotransverse joint?
synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodia)
What are the joint surfaces of the costocentral joint?
- costal facet or costal demi-facet on the vertebral body
- articular surface of the head of the rib
What are the joint surfaces of the costotransverse joint?
- transverse costal facet on the vertebral transverse process
- articular surface of the tubercle of the rib
What are the joint surfaces of the costocentral joint of the 1st, 11th, and 12th ribs?
- superior costal facet on the vertebral body of T1, T11, or T12
- articular surface of the head of the 1st, 11th, or 12th rib
What are the joint surfaces of the costocentral joint of the 2nd - 9th ribs?
- the costal demi-facet of the vertebral bodies
- intervertebral disc
- articular surfaces of the head of the rib
What are the joint surfaces of the costocentral joint of the second rib?
- the inferior costal demi-facet of the vertebral body of T1 with the superior articular suface of the head of the second rib and the intervertebral disc
- the superior costal demi-facet of the vertebral body of T2 with the inferior articular surface of the head of the second rib and intervertebral disc
The costocentral capsular lig is identified with which joint classification?
synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodia)
The costocentral capsular lig collagen fibers will attach to what structures?
- margins of bone surrounding the articular surfaces of the capitulum of the rib
- margins of bone surrounding the costal demi-facets and the intervertebral disc
Which costocentral lig forms part of the anterior boundary of the intervertebral foramen?
costocentral capsular lig
The costocentral radiate/stellate lig is identified with which joint classification?
fibrous (amphiarthrosis) syndesmosis
Costocentral radiate/stellate lig will attach the head of the rib to what structures?
- both vertebral bodies of the costocentral joint
- intervertebral disc for ribs 1-9
Costocentral radiate/stellate lig will attach the heads of ribs 10, 11, and 12 to what structures?
the intervertebral disc and vertebral body of articulation
An intra-articular lig will be identified with which ribs?
ribs 2-9
What are the attaching surfaces of the intra-articular lig?
the intra-articular crest of the head of the rib and the intervertebral disc
Which vertebrae will have a synovial plane (diarthrosis arthrodia) costotransverse joint?
typically T1-T10
