Answer
what are the structures that make up the bony thorax   sternum anteriorly,thoracic vertebrta posteriorly and 12 pairs of ribs  
🗑
what are the 3 divisions of the sternum   manubrium,body,xiphoid tip  
🗑
what is the other names of the manubrium   suprasternal notch,jugular notch,manubrial notch  
🗑
what is the other name of the body of the sternum   corpus,gladiolus  
🗑
what is the upper most border of the sternum called   manubrial notch,suprasternal notch  
🗑
what level is the upper most border of the manubrium   at the level of t2-t3  
🗑
the lower end of the manubrium is the   sternal angle  
🗑
what level is the lower end of the manubrium/sternal angle is   t4-t5  
🗑
the xiphoid tip is located at the level of   t9-t10  
🗑
the inferior costal (rib)margin corresponds to the level of   L2-L3  
🗑
what is the joint where each clavicle articulates with the manubrium   sternoclavicular joint  
🗑
what is the only connection between each shoulder girdle and the bony thorax   SC joint(sternoclavicular joint)  
🗑
what are the anterior ribs attach to the sternum by   costocartilage  
🗑
the clavicles and the cartilages of the first 7 pairs of ribs are connect how   directly to the sternum  
🗑
the costcartilage for the first rib attaches to the ------   manubrium  
🗑
the costcartilage for the second rib attaches at the---   sternal angle  
🗑
the 3rd-7th costcartilage attaches to-------   the body of the sternum  
🗑
8,9,and 10th also have costcartilage but attaches to ----   the costcartilage of the 7th rib  
🗑
what are the first 7 pairs of ribs called   true ribs  
🗑
why are the first 7 pairs of ribs called true ribs   b/c the ribs are directly attach to the sternum by its own costocartilage  
🗑
what are the 8 through 12 ribs called   false ribs  
🗑
why are the 8th-12th ribs called false ribs   b/c they attach to the sternum indirectly  
🗑
what are the 11 and 12 ribs called   floating ribs  
🗑
why are the 11 and 12 ribs called floating ribs   b/c they do not possess costocartilage or connect anteriorly  
🗑
each rib has two ends called what   posterior or vertebral end or anterior or sternal end  
🗑
what is between the two ends called   the shaft or body of the rib  
🗑
the vertebral end has a   head and a flat neck  
🗑
lateral to the neck is a   tubercle  
🗑
the body extends------from the tubercle   laterally  
🗑
the posterior or vertebral end of the rib is how much higher than the anterior or sternal end   3 to 5 inches higher  
🗑
inside the margin of each of each rib protects --------   artery,nerve and vein.  
🗑
the inside margin is called the   costal groove  
🗑
where is the bony thorax the widest   at the 8th or 9th ribs  
🗑
what forms the costovertebral joint   head of the rib and the body of the thoracic vertebrae  
🗑
costotransverse joint is formed by the   tubercle of the rib and the transverse process of the thoracic vertebrae  
🗑
do the 11 and 12 ribs have costotransverse articulation   do not have a costotransverse articulation  
🗑
where is the costchondral union or junction located at   b/w the costocartilage and anterior or sternal end of the rib  
🗑
what is the classification of the costochondral union or joint   unique classification  
🗑
what is the movement of the costochondral union or junction   synarthrodial  
🗑
where is the sternocostal joint of the 1st rib located at   b/w the sternum and costocartilage  
🗑
what is the sternocostal joint of the 1st rib is classified as,and what mobility (b/w the rib & sternum)   cartilaginous-no movement synarthrodial  
🗑
sternocostal joint of 2nd and thru 7th rib has what classification and mobility & movement(b/w the 2nd-7th ribs & sternum)   synovial joints,gliding motion,diarthodial  
🗑
interchondral joint b/w 6th thru 10th ribs are classified as   synovial joints,gliding motion & diarthodial  
🗑
the thoracic spine & sternum are superimposed in what position   AP & PA position  
🗑
the vertebral is much more-----than the sternum.so the body must be --------to visualize the sternum away from the vertebra & placed in the heart shadow for a more uniform density.   dense, rotated  
🗑
what can be done in place of a RAO,if the pt can't do that position   LPO  
🗑
why is a breathing technique used on a RAO sternum   to blur out lung markings over the sternum.this requires low kV65 low mA a long exposure3-4secs  
🗑
if a patient can't stand what can you do (sternum)   cross table lateral  
🗑
