Vertebral & Rib Bones Flashcards
Identify the bones and the definition/function (24 cards)
Vertebral COlumn
-articulate the series of vertebrae for support and protection
Name 5 sections of the Vertebral Column?
- Cervical Vertebrae ( neck)
- Thoracic Vertebrae ( thorax, chest)
- Lumbar Vertebrae ( lower back)
- Sacrum ( pelvic region)
- Coccyx ) pelvic region)
Spinous Process
posterior projection for muscle attachment
- the long pointy bone
Transverse Process
lateral projection for muscle attachment
- the wings
Vertebral Foramen
large opening in vertebrae for spinal cord
- the hole
Body
anterior portion that support the body weight
- the thick bone
Superior Articulate Process
forms joint with higher vertebrae
- the upper bone of verterbrae
Inferior Articulate Process
form joint with lower vertebrae
- the lower bone, behind Spinous Process
Intervertebral Foramen
opening between adjacent vertebrae for spinal nerve
- the under opening section
Intervertebral Discs
cartilage pads that provide padding and enable movement
-where the body connect with the other body, it’s prove support and movements
Sacrum
large, triangular bone formed by fusion of five savral vertebrae
Coccyx
small bone formed by fusion of coccygeal vertebrae
Sternum
long flat bone located in central part of chest
the Rib/ chest / Flat Bone
Manubrium
broad, superior part
-upper section of the flat bone ( the rib / chest bone)
Body
long middle section
- long part of flat bone
Xiphoid Process
inferior region
- lower section of the flat bone
Superasteral Notch
depression on superior border of manubrium
Sternal Angle
mark boundary between manubrium & body
Costal Cartilage
connect ribs to sternum & increase elasticity of thorax
Ribs
curved bones of thorax
24 bones
Identiy 3 types of Ribs
- True Ribs
- False Ribs
- Floating Ribs
True RIbs
have direct connection to sternum via cartilage
Bone: 1-7
False RIbs
doesnt have direct connection to sternum
Bones- 8-12
Floating Ribs
false ribs that don’t connect to the sternum at all
Bone: 11-12
