Study Notes
- The bony thorax forms a protective cage around major organs in the thoracic cavity, including the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels.
- It is made up of the sternum (manubrium, body, xiphoid process), 12 pairs of ribs (7 true, 5 false, 2 floating), and thoracic vertebrae.
- Disorders related to the bony thorax can include exaggerated spinal column curves like scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis.
- In the vertebral column, disorders like herniated discs may occur due to trauma or aging, leading to the nucleus pulposus leaking out.
- The fetal skull is relatively large compared to the infant's total body length, with fontanelles allowing brain growth and converting to bone within 24 months after birth.
- The vertebral column supports the body axially, consists of 33 bones, and is separated by intervertebral discs to protect the spinal cord.
- The axial skeleton comprises 80 bones, including the skull, vertebral column, and bony thorax, serving as the longitudinal part of the body.
