Spine Anatomy

Thoracic Anatomy

QuestionAnswer
Where are the costal facets (demifacets) located on the T-Spine Vertebrae? On the body, except for ribs 11 &12
What do costal facets located on the TPs do? articulate with rib tubercles
Clinically the T spine begins where? T3, T1 & T2 are typically examined with the cervical spine
Do you know the Rule of 3's? T1-3 SP in level with body, T4-6 SP in level with inferior disc, T7-9 projects to one vert level below its TP, T10-12 SP level with body again.
What motions do the T-spine facets allow for? Rotation and SB
What dictates motion at the T Spine? facet orientation, and ribs limit a lot of motion that would naturally be available
Ribs _-_ are considered typical. 3-9
what are the components of a typical rib? Head (w/ crest and demifacets), neck, tubercle (facet included which actually articulates with TP), shaft, angle
Generally how many ribs does each Tspine vert articulate with? 2
T1 has ___(#) facets, what ribs are they responsible for? 1 1/2 facets, one for rib 1, and a demifacet for superior aspect of rib 2
Which vert only have one facet? T10-12
what is different about T11-12, other than that they only have one facet? Heads of ribs articulate at the pedicles instead of the vertebral bodies, and no costransverse articualtion.
which ribs are true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs? 1-7 are true, 8-10 are false, and 11&12 are floating
What constitutes a true rib? direct articualtion with the sternum via their own costal cartilage; false articulate with sternum via costal cartilage of the ribs above it; floating ribs don't articulate
So atypical ribs = which ribs (same #s as tspine vert)? 1, 2, 10, 11, 12
The 1st rib has how many facets? 1
Name the landmarks for the first rib. A single facet, Scalene tubercle, groove for sublcavian vein, groove for subclavian artery
WHich ribs only have one facet? 1, 10,11,12
What articulates at the manubrium? clavicle(via clavicular notch/sc jt), 1st rib (via facet), 2nd rib (via demifacet)
The sternum consists of ____, 4 fused segments, and the manubrium Sternebrae
For our class, the SC jt is classified as what type of jt? Saddle synovial jt
What shape is he clavicle A/P? S/I? concave A/P, Convex S/I
What structures run right behind the SC jt? L: common carotid and subclavian arteries; R: brachiocephalic trunk
Between the manubrium and body of the sternum, the manubriosternal jt contains a fibrocartilaginous disk which ossifies in ___% of adults. 10%
____is the jt between the xiphoid process and the sternum, and ossifies by? xiphisternal jt; by 40-50 y/o
____jts are the joints that artcilate between the ribs and usu the body of the tspine vert. costovertebral jts
what type of jt are costovertebral jts? Plane synovial
Name two ligaments of the costovertebral jt? radiate and intra-articular lig
The radiate lig of the costovertebral jts has 3 parts; describe each section. Superior: head to body above; middle: head to disc; inferior: head to body below
Intra-articular lig of the costovertebral jts connect ___ to _____. What does this accomplish? head(crest) to vertebral disc; divides the jt cavity into inferior and superior compartments
What is the costotransverse jt? connects the TP to the neck of the ribs
What stabilizes the costotransverse jts? Three costotransverse ligs: Superior, medial and lateral
What are the costochondral jts? rib and cartilage junction by the costal cartilages
What type of jts are the costochondral jts? synchondrosis (non synovial)
What is the name of the jt that connects the costal cartilage to the sternum? costosternal jts
Where do costosternal jts exist? Ribs 1-7
WHich costosternal jts are plane synovial? what does this mean? 2-7; more mobile than 1st rib
Is there a lot of available motion in the costochondral jts? No
What are interchondral jts? joining between costal cartilages, seen in false ribs
