GA1 CP osteology arthrology and myology Flashcards
(45 cards)




Superior Thoracic Aperture
What is it?
Boundaries?
Thoracic inlet
- communication between neck and thorax
- T1 vertebral segment
- paired 1st ribs and superior manubrium
Contents of the superior thoracic aperture?
- Trachea
- esophagus
- nerves and vessels that supply and drain head neck and upper extremities

Inferior Thoracic Aperture
What is it?
Boundaries?
Thoracic outlet
- irregular communication between the thorax and abdomen

Inferior Thoracic aperture
Contents?
- Esophagus
- inferior vena cava
- Aorta (abdominal aorta)



Contents of the Pulmonary cavities?
There are two pulmonary cavities laterally
Lungs and pleurae

Mediastinum contents?
located centrally
- Heart
- Thoracic great vessels
- trachea
- thoracic esophagus
- thymus


Manubrium (superior portion)
- Suprasternal notch (superior border of manubrium)
- Sternal angle (of Louis)(junction of manubrium and body)
- Clavicular Notch (articulates with sternal end of clavicle)
- Costal Notches (1st and half of the 2nd)


Body of Sternum (middle portion, longer, narrower, and thinner than the manubrium)
- Xiphoid/sternal joint (junction of body and xiphoid process)
- Costal notches (half of the 2nd, 3rd-6th, and half of 7th)
- Transverse ridges (anterior surface, between costal notches


Xiphoid Process (inferior portion)
- Costal notch (half of 7th)

The three types of ribs?

Typical Ribs

3rd through 9th




First rib (broad, flat, wide)
- Head (possesses only a single facet)
- Scalene tubercle (insertion point for anterior scalene M.)
- Groove for subclavian A. (superior aspect, posterior to the groove for the subclavian V.)
- Groove for subclavian V. (superior aspect, anterior to the groove for the subclavian A.)


Second rib (longer than 1st rib)
- Tuberosity of serratus anterior M. (insertion for the serratus anterior M.)

Special about the 10th 11th and 12th ribs?


Rib Fractures
Most common?
What can it cause?
MOst commonly fractured ribs are the Middle ribs, at their weakest locus, just anterior to the costal angle.
Rib fracture can damage internal organs and produce severe pain with respiration, coughing, laughing, and sneezing
Extra ribs are called?
do they cause problems?
