What is special about ribs 10-12? - These ribs only have a single facet and
articulate with only one vertebra.
What is another name for posterior? - Dorsal
What is special about the floating ribs? - They are short and have no necks or
tubercles.
What is another name for anterior? - Ventral
What are the three different types of cartilage? - hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
What does caudal mean? - Towards the coccyx or toes
What do true ribs articulate with? - The sternum directly through costal cartilage
What is used to describe parts of the brain? - Rostral - meaning twoards the
rostrum
What do the false ribs articulate with? - The costal cartilages superior to them,
thus forming a costal margin
What does dorsum mean? - The superior aspect of any part of the body that
protrudes anteriorly
What is the costal margin? - The fusion of cartilages from ribs 7-10
,What does palm mean? - The inferior aspect of any part that protrudes from the
body
What is the intercostal space? - The space between the ribs (only 11 in total) that
allow for the 11 intercostal nerves to attach to
What is the opposite of the dorsum? - The Sole, which is the very bottom of the
inferior aspect of a body part
What else occupies the intercostal space? - Intercostal muscles and membranes
along two sets of intercostal blood vessels that are also named in accordance to
where they're located
What does inferomedial mean? - The relative placement of a body part to the feet
and the medial plane
What is the name of the space under the floating ribs? - The subcostal space (the
ramus of othe spinal nerve for T12 is known as the subcostal nerve)
What does superolateral mean? - The relative placement of a body part to the
head while being farther away from the medial plane
What makes thoracic vertebrae typical? - They are independent with their own
individual bodies, vertebral arches, and seven processes for muscular and
articular connections
What is the thorax? - The chest cavity
What are the major parts of the body? - The head, neck, thorax, back, abdomen,
pelvis/perineum, lower limb, upper limb
, What organs are protected by the thoracic cage? - The hearts, lung, the liver,
and part of the stomach
What are the regions of the lower limb? - 1.) Gluteal
2.) Femoral
3.) Knee
4.) Leg
5.) Ankle
6.) Foot
What are the three regions of the thoracic cavity? - The Mediastinum (the central
compartment) and the Right and Left pulmonary cavities
What is clinical anatomy? - Clinical anatomy focuses on anatomical features that
may undergo recognizable pathological changes during an illness.
What is the function of the thoracic cage? - 1.) Protects heart, lungs, trachea,
esophagus, and other thoracic organs
2.) To resist the negative pressures generated from the lungs as we breathe
3.) Provide attachment for the upper limbs
4.) Provide attachment sites for the muscles that help move the upper body
What is the medial plane? - The plane that runs down the body and cuts it into
equal halves
What does the thoracic skeleton form? - The Osteocartilaginous Cage
What is the sagittal plane? - a vertical plane that divides the body into right and
left parts
