    Study Notes

    Thorax and Abdomen

    • The thorax is the body region between the neck and abdomen.
    • The abdomen contains the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.

    Ribs

    • The first rib is the shortest, broadest, and most curved of the twelve ribs.
    • It's considered atypical due to unique features.
    • It's an important anatomical landmark.
    • Ribs form the thoracic cage.
    • Ribs aid in breathing by changing the size of the thoracic cavity.
    • Ribs protect thoracic organs.
    • Ribs provide attachment points for muscles.

    Tubercle Orientation

    • The rib tubercle is located on the posterior surface of each rib.
    • It's positioned laterally, just below the rib's neck.
    • It has an articular part (smooth and oval).
    • The non-articular part is rough for ligament attachment.

    Subcostal Muscles

    • Located in the posterior thoracic wall.
    • Play a role in respiration.
    • Origin: Internal surfaces of lower ribs (7th to 10th).
    • Insertion: Internal surfaces of ribs two to three levels below origin.
    • Function: Depress ribs during forced exhalation.
    • Assist in reducing thoracic volume.
    • Nerve supply: Adjacent intercostal nerves.

    Innervation and Function

    • Innervated by adjacent intercostal nerves (anterior rami of thoracic nerves).
    • Muscles play a role in respiration, pulling ribs inferiorly during forced exhalation.
    • Supporting intercostal spaces and thoracic cage.

    Thymus Gland

    • Located in the upper chest, behind the breastbone (sternum).
    • Located between the lungs in the mediastinum.
    • Located in front of and above the heart.
    • Single gland.

    Other Topics (from subsequent pages)

    • Esophagus layers (mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, adventitia)
    • Heart location of the tricuspid valve.
    • Right coronary artery branches
    • Anterior ventricular branches
    • Right marginal artery
    • Sinoatrial nodal artery (present in 55-60% of individuals)
    • Atrioventricular nodal artery (present in 90% of individuals)
    • Rectus Abdominis muscle
    • Function is to move the body between the ribcage and the pelvis.
    • Iliacus muscle
    • Part of the iliopsoas group
    • Originates from the iliac fossa and anterior sacroiliac ligaments
    • Inserts at lesser trochanter of the femur (via psoas tendon).
    • Body of the pancreas, head, neck, tail, lateral branches of the aorta, intercostal arteries, renal arteries, gonadal arteries, lumbar arteries.
    • Descending colon location, length, and function.
    • Kidney description (size, shape, location, internal structure, protective fat layers).
    • Lymph nodes (cervical, axillary, inguinal, para-aortic (lumbar), celiac nodes). Their roles in the lymphatic system, draining lymph from specific body regions, filtering lymph fluid, and immune responses.
