    Study Notes

    Cardiovascular System

    Sternum

    • Consists of manubrium sterni, body, and xiphoid process
    • Site for articulation with clavicle, costal cartilages, and jugular notch

    Typical Thoracic Vertebrae

    • Body, superior and inferior demifacets, superior and inferior articular processes, transverse process, and spine
    • Characteristics of typical thoracic vertebrae

    Typical Rib

    • Head, articular facets, crest, neck, tubercle, angle, shaft, costal groove, and anterior costal end

    First Rib

    • Head, neck, tubercle, scalene tubercle, groove for subclavian artery, and groove for subclavian vein
    • Attachments: scalenus medius, serratus anterior muscle, and subclavius muscle

    Heart

    • Right border, left border, inferior border, superior border, right atrium, left atrium (auricle), right ventricle, left ventricle, apex, interventricular groove, and atrioventricular groove
    • Ascending aorta, arch of aorta, brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid, left subclavian, pulmonary trunk, superior vena cava, and anterior interventricular artery branch of left coronary

    Heart Models

    • Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle, apex, interventricular groove, and atrioventricular groove
    • Branches: brachiocephalic trunk, aortic arch, ascending aorta, pulmonary trunk, superior vena cava, and anterior interventricular artery branch of left coronary

    Respiratory System

    Organs

    • Hard palate, soft palate, palatine tonsil, superior concha of the nose, inferior concha of the nose, salpingopharyngeal fold, opening of Eustachian tube, epiglottis, frontal air sinus, and sphenoid air sinus

    Pharynx

    • Epiglottis, hyoid bone, thyrohyoid membrane, thyroid cartilage, thyrohyoid muscle, cricoid cartilage, and cricothyroid muscle
    • Structures: posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, transverse aretenoid muscle, aryepiglottic fold, and pyriform fossa

    Larynx

    • Hyoid bone, thyrohyoid muscle, epiglottis, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, and trachea
    • Muscles: posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, transverse aretenoid muscle, and cricothyroid muscle
    • Ligaments: true vocal fold (cricovocal ligament) and false vocal fold (vestibular ligament)

    X-ray Radiograph

    • Plain X-ray chest postro-anterior view
    • Structures visible: right and left clavicle, right and left border of the heart, right and left copula of diaphragm, right and left costophrenic angle, and aortic knuckle
