28
Q

what do intervertebral discs do? and parts of them

-they help to support with cushioning and movement
contain:
- nucleus pulposus(middle of it)

29

vertebral body- heart shaped
-costal facets for ribs

31
Q

about features of lumber vertebrae

A

size- large
spinous process- short, stumpy
vertebral body- kidney shaped
-no articular facets

32
Q

what are the atypical vertebrae

A

C1 atlas and C2 axis
-C1: allows the “no” motion, has dens
-C2: has the projection

33
Q

functions of the thoracic cage

A

-encloses and protects viscera of the thoracic cavity
-acts as an anchor for muscles (for upper limb, scapula)

34
Q

parts of the thoracic cage

A

-sternum
-12 pairs of ribs
-thoracic spine (T1-T12)

35
Q

parts of the sternum

A

-manubrium
(sternal angle)
-body
-xiphoid process
(articulation sites for ribs)
-clavicular notch (clavicle joins the manubrium here)

36
Q

how many ribs are there

A

12 pairs of ribs

  • true ribs (1-7): articulate directly with the sternum via costal cartilage
  • false ribs 8-10: articulate indirectly via fused costal cartilage
  • floating ribs 11 & 12: no anterior articulation
37
Q

how do most ribs articulate with sternum

A

via costal cartilage
-gives elasticity of the thoracic cage

38
Q

tubercle

A

bump/prominence

39
Q

anatomy of a typical rib with a thoracic vertebrae

A

tubercle: articulates with transverse process of thoracic vertebrae

head: articulates with body of the thoracic vertebrae (via costal facet)

40
Q

pectoralis major (OIAI)

A

origin- anterior surface of clavicle, anterior surface of sternum, external oblique aponeurosis, ribs costal cartilage

insertion- intertubercle of groove

action- adducts, flexes, medially rotates arm

innervation- medial & lateral pectoral

41
Q

what are the 5 thoracic cage superficial muscles

A
  • pectoralis major
  • pectoralis minor
  • subclavius
  • serratus anterior
  • serratus posterior
42
Q

pectoralis minor

A

origin: ribs 3-5
intersection: coracoid process of scapula
action: pulls scapula down and anteriorly
innervation: medial pectoral n.

43
Q

subclavius

A

origin: 1st rib
insertion: interior surface of clavicle
action: pulls down and stabilizes clavicle
innervation: C5-C6 subclavian

44
Q

serratus anterior

A

origin: surface of ribs 1-8
insertion: medial border of scapula on the costal surface
action: protract scapula, elevate ribs
innervation: long thoracic n.

45
Q

serratus posterior-superior

A

Origin: C7-T3 spinous processes
Insertion: superior borders of ribs 2-4
Action: elevates upper ribs
Innervation: T1-T4 ventral rami

46
Q

serratus posterior- inferior

A

Origin: T11-L2 spinous processes
Insertion: inferior border of ribs 9-12
Action: depresses lower ribs
Innervation: T9-T12 anterior rami

47
Q

which of the following muscles does NOT originate on the ribs?
A) pectoralis minor
B)subclavius
C)serratus anterior
D)serratus posterior superior

A

D)

48
Q

what are the thoracic cage deep muscles

A

-external intercostals
-internal intercostals
-innermost intercostals
-transversus thoracis
-subcostales

49
Q

external intercostals

A

Origin: inferior border of ribs
Insertion: superior border of the rib below
Action: elevate ribs (inspiration)
Innervation: intercostals nerves

50
Q

internal intercostals

A

Origin: inferior borders of ribs
Insertion: superior border of the rib below
Action: lower ribs (expiration)
Innervation: intercostal nerves

51
Q

how can you tell the difference between external and internal intercostals

A

function: External help with inspiration, internal help with expiration

muscles fibers: external run medially, internal run laterally

52
Q

innermost intercostals

A

Origin: inferior border of ribs
Insertion: superior border of rib below
Action: lower ribs (expiration)
Innervation: intercostal nerves

53
Q

transvers thoracis

A

Origin: pleural surface of ribs 2-6 (anteriorly)
Insertion: posterior surface of sternum, xiphoid process
Action: lowers ribs (expiration)
Innervation: intercostal nerves

54
Q

subcostales

A

Origin: pleural surface of lower ribs (posteriorly)
Insertion: superior border of ribs below; lower ribs
Action: contracts, pulls ribs down (expiration)
Innervation: intercostals nerves

55
Q

diaphragm

A

Origin: xiphoid process of sternum, L1-L4 vertebra, costal arch of ribs 7-12
Insertion: central tendon of diaphragm

Innervation: phrenic n.
C3, 4, 5, keeps the diaphragm alive

56
Q
