TH-L-01-Bony-thorax Bony Thorax Dr Ayida Al Wahaibi AY-24-25 Objectives 1. Describe the skeletal components of the thoracic cage and the joints that exist between these components. 2. Describe the boundaries of the thorax, its inlet. 3. List the structures passing the thoracic inlet. 4. Identify anatomical landmarks of the thoracic region. 2 Osteology of the Thoracic Cage Thoracic skeleton is strong, and its joints allow rib position changes.

Xiphoid Process Located at the level of the T9 thoracic vertebra https://pressbooks- and the T7 dermatome. dev.oer.hawaii.edu/anatomyandphys iology/chapter/the-thoracic-cage/ 6 Sternum https://pressbooks- dev.oer.hawaii.edu/anatomyandphys iology/chapter/the-thoracic-cage/ 7 Ribs A rib = cartilage + bone + joint facets. Humans have 24 ribs (12 pairs). Costal cartilages of ribs 1 to 7 attach to sternum (most are synovial joints). Ribs 8, 9 & 10 attach to cartilage above. Ribs 11 & 12 have no attachment. https://pressbooks- dev.oer.hawaii.edu/anatomyandphys iology/chapter/the-thoracic-cage/ 8 Ribs Attached to the sternum through the “True Ribs“ Ribs 1 -7 costal cartilage Sharing a common “False Ribs“ cartilaginous Ribs 8, 9 & 10 connection to the sternum Ribs “Floating Ribs” Ribs 11 & 12 Attached to the 9 vertebrae only Ribs Chest Radiograph 10 Source: Radiology Masterclass Ribs In Chest Radiograph T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 T10 T11 T12 11 Typical Ribs http://web.donga.ac.kr/ksyoo/department/education/ 12 grossanatomy/doc/html/rib-t.html Atypical Ribs The atypical ribs are the 1 , 10 , 11 and 12. st th th th Why these ribs are called atypical?
