What is the general shape of the thoracic cage-----21.

. The top of the manubrium has a shallow U-shaped border called the jugular suprasternal notch. Using the terms in the key identify the regions and landmarks of the thoracic cage. What is the general shape of the thoracic cage.

The cutaneous innervation of the anterior portion of the thoracic wall is from lateral and anterior cutaneous nerves via ventral rami forming a segmental dermatomal pattern. Thus the sternal angle and second rib are important landmarks for the identification and counting of the lower ribs. Surface landmark for identifying rib 2.

The clavicle and parts of the thoracic cage provide prominent surface landmarks. Manubrium body and xiphoid process. Using the terms in the key identify the regions and landmarks of the thoracic.

For example in Tip 2 it will be useful to be able to identify the T12L1 junction as well as the iliac crest. Supraspinous fossa e not on testable list k. Some of the methods of assessment described in the tips in this chapter require you to locate specific bones.

Identifying Key Bony Landmarks. Using items from the key at the right identify the anatomical landmarks and regions of the scapula. Ribs 37 attach to the sternal body.

The manubrium body and xiphoid process. The manubrium body and xiphoid process. Humerus radius ulna phalanges metacarpals femur tibia metatarsals and fibula Long carpals tarsals patella calcaneus Short Skull or cranium sternum scapula ribs clavicle flat Vertebra ilium ischium pubis bones of pelvic girdle irregular Sharp slender process spine small rounded projection tubercle narrow ridge of bone crest.

The manubrium is the wider superior portion of the sternum. Costal cartilage 2 d. Sternal angle sternum j.

Articulates with costal cartilages of ribs 1-2 and clavicles. The bony landmarks and articulations allow for the thoracic cage to connect with the pectoral girdle to attach the arm to the central region of the body. True ribs Jugular Notch Clavicular Notch Manubrium Sternal Angle Body Sternum Intervertebral Discs Thoracic Vertebrae Intervertebral Foramina Transverse.

Spine il superior angle j. The manubrium is the wider superior portion of the sternum. In Tip 15 you will have.

The sternum is the elongated bony structure that anchors the anterior thoracic cage. The second rib attaches to the sternum at the sternal angle. Using the terms in the key identify the regions and landmarks o dentify the regions and landmarks of the thoracic cage.

In Tip 3 you will need to identify the medial border and the inferior angle of the scapula. Using the terms in the key identify the regions and landmarks of the thoracic cage. Since the first rib is hidden behind the clavicle the second rib is the highest rib that can be identified by palpation.

Formed by junction of manubrium and body of sternum. Directional terms are used to help orient the reader to the thorax. Differentiate between a true rib and a false rib.

The major bony components of the thorax excluding the vertebral column are the and the 19. Using the terms in the key identify the regions and landmarks of the thoracic cage. The sternum is the elongated bony structure that anchors the anterior thoracic cage.
