Chest Wall Anatomy
- The sternum consists of three parts:
- Manubrium: Upper segment, larger in frontal view.
- Body: Intermediate section where rib cartilages articulate.
- Xiphoid Process: Smaller caudal portion.
- Sternal angle serves as a landmark for chest prominence.
- Ribs:
- Twelve pairs, classified as flat bones.
- True Ribs (1-7): Directly articulate with the sternum.
- False Ribs (8-10): Connect to the sternum via cartilage from the 7th rib.
- Floating Ribs (11-12): Do not articulate with the sternum.
Rib Structure
- Ribs have a flat anterior end and an irregular posterior end featuring a head, neck, and tubercle.
- Articular facets are located on the head for vertebral connections.
- Ribs allow flexibility and mobility for lung volume changes during respiration.
Joints of the Chest Wall
- Sternocostal Joints:
- 1st rib attaches to the manubrium via a synchondrosis (fixed joint).
- 2nd rib has a double synovial gliding joint.
- Ribs 3-7 feature single synovial gliding joints.
- Ribs 8-10 connect via cartilaginous joints with the above ribs.
- Interchondral Joints: Formed between cartilages of ribs VI to XI, supported by interchondral ligaments.
- Costocorporeal and Costotransverse Joints:
- Connect the rib’s head and tubercle to the vertebral body and transverse process, respectively.
Musculature of the Chest Wall
- Intercostal Muscles:
- External intercostals elevate ribs for inspiration.
- Internal and innermost intercostals depress ribs for expiration.
- Subcostales: Located inferiorly, connected over multiple ribs.
- Transversus Thoracis: Links sternum to rib cartilages, assisting in rib depression.
- Serratus Posterior Superior/Inferior:
- Superior elevates ribs, inferior depresses ribs.
- Levatores Costarum: Elevate ribs and assist vertebral movements.
Diaphragm
- Major respiratory muscle with dome-shaped structure.
- Connects to the sternum, ribs, and lumbar vertebrae.
- Has distinct portions: sternal, costal, and lumbar, each with specific attachments.
- Features three hiatuses for major vessels and nerves.
Pelvic Anatomy
- Comprised of two hip bones and the sacrum.
- Each hip bone consists of three fused parts: ilium, ischium, and pubis.
- The acetabulum is the socket where the hip bone articulates with the femur.
- Important landmarks on the ilium include the iliac crest and spines, critical for muscle attachment.
Pelvic Cavity
- Defined by the pelvic inlet and outlet:
- Inlet: Heart-shaped in males, round/oval in females.
- Outlet: Size differences due to pelvic bone morphology.
- Notable sexual dimorphism exists in pelvic shape affecting childbirth.
Anterolateral Abdominal Wall
- Layers include skin, adipose tissue (Camper fascia), and connective tissue (Scarpa fascia).
- Rectus Abdominis: Central muscle aiding trunk flexion; features tendinous intersections for increased strength.
- External Oblique:
- Most superficial lateral muscle, involved in trunk rotation and lateral flexion.
- Forms the inguinal ligament from its inferior margin.
Key Muscles and Functions
- Abdominal wall muscles regulate pressure, posture, and movement.
- Diaphragm's position varies with respiration, influencing lung expansion.### Inguinal Canal
- Originates at the superficial inguinal ring in the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle.
- Passes through the internal oblique and transverse muscles, leading to the deep inguinal ring at the fascia transversalis level.
Internal Oblique Muscle
- Positioned beneath the external oblique muscle with opposite fiber orientation.
- Attaches to the iliac crest, pubic crest, linea alba, ribs, and xiphoid process.
- Facilitates lateral flexion, rotation, and maintenance of abdominal tone.
Transversus Abdominis
- The deepest muscle in the anterolateral abdominal wall with horizontal fiber orientation.
- Attached posteriorly to the vertebral column and anteriorly to the linea alba, iliac crest, xiphoid, and last ribs.
- Muscle contraction occurs towards the linea alba, its origin.
Cremaster Muscle
- Small muscle with fibers along the spermatic cord in males and the round ligament in females.
- Originates from the internal oblique and transversus abdominis.
- Functions to raise and lower the testes for scrotal temperature regulation.
Pyramidalis Muscle
- Very small muscle linked to the pubis and linea alba.
- Maintains tension in the lower linea alba.
Posterior Abdominal Wall
- Houses muscles such as quadratus lumborum and iliopsoas, crucial for lower limb movement.
Quadratus Lumborum
- Fibers exhibit various orientations attached to the iliac crest, lumbar transverse processes, and last ribs.
- Functions as an extender of the trunk and assists with lateral movement.
Thoracolumbar Fascia
- Organizes and separates muscle compartments in the posterior abdominal region.
- Comprises three layers: anterior, middle, and posterior.
- Anterior layer covers quadratus lumborum and attaches to vertebrae and transversus muscle connective tissue.
- Middle layer is situated posteriorly to quadratus lumborum.
- Posterior layer encapsulates back muscles.
Pelvic Muscles
- Includes piriformis and obturator internus.
- Piriformis originates from the sacrum and iliac portion, attaching to the greater trochanter.
- Obturator internus is situated in the pelvis, closing the obturator foramen of the hip bone.
Pelvic Floor Muscles
- Consists of levator ani group:
- Puborectalis: attaches to the pubis and encircles the rectum.
- Pubococcygeus: lies between pubis and coccyx.
- Iliococcygeus: more lateral attachment from ischial spine to coccyx.
- Ischiococcygeus: spans between ischial spine and coccyx.
