🗑
which ribs are considered true ribs   1st seven  
🗑
-longest portion of sternum(about 4") -joined to another portion of sternum to create sternal angle -sternal angle is palpable and lies at T4-T5 -provides attachment for costal cartilage of first seven ribs at lateral border   Body of sternum  
🗑
-most distal portion of sternum -often deviates from midline -useful landmark -tip lies over T10 and body lies over T9   xiphoid process  
🗑
funnel chest/caved chest/cereal chest   pectus excavum  
🗑
pigeon chest/bulges out/extra bone   pectus carinatum
