Vertebral Column and Thorax
Introduction to Human Osteology Chapter 4: Vertebral Column and Thorax Roberta Hall Kenneth Beals Holm Neumann Georg Neumann Gwyn Madden Revised in 1978, 1984, and 2008 The Vertebral Column and Thorax Sternum Manubrium – bone that is trapezoidal in shape, makes up the superior aspect of the sternum. Jugular notch – concave notches on either side of the superior aspect of the manubrium, for articulation with the clavicles. Corpus or body – flat, rectangular bone making up the major portion of the sternum. The lateral aspects contain the notches for the true ribs, called the costal notches. Xiphoid process – variably shaped bone found at the inferior aspect of the corpus. Process may fuse late in life to the corpus. Clavicle Sternal end – rounded end, articulates with manubrium. Acromial end – flat end, articulates with scapula. Conoid tuberosity – muscle attachment located on the inferior aspect of the shaft, pointing posteriorly.

Netter's Musculoskeletal Flash Cards, 1E
Netter’s Musculoskeletal Flash Cards Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D. Miller, MD University of Virginia This page intentionally left blank Preface In a world dominated by electronics and gadgetry, learning from fl ash cards remains a reassuringly “tried and true” method of building knowledge. They taught us subtraction and multiplication tables when we were young, and here we use them to navigate the basics of musculoskeletal medicine. Netter illustrations are supplemented with clinical, radiographic, and arthroscopic images to review the most common musculoskeletal diseases. These cards provide the user with a steadfast tool for the very best kind of learning—that which is self directed. “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” —Abigail Adams (1744–1818) “It’s that moment of dawning comprehension I live for!” —Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes) Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D.

The following bony prominences can usually be palpated in the living subject (corresponding vertebral levels are given in brackets): •◊◊superior angle of the scapula (T2); •◊◊upper border of the manubrium sterni, the suprasternal notch (T2/3); •◊◊spine of the scapula (T3); •◊◊sternal angle (of Louis) — the transverse ridge at the manubrio-sternal junction (T4/5); •◊◊inferior angle of scapula (T8); •◊◊xiphisternal joint (T9); •◊◊lowest part of costal margin—10th rib (the subcostal line passes through L3). Note from Fig. 1 that the manubrium corresponds to the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae and overlies the aortic arch, and that the sternum corre- sponds to the 5th to 8th vertebrae and neatly overlies the heart. Since the 1st and 12th ribs are difficult to feel, the ribs should be enu- merated from the 2nd costal cartilage, which articulates with the sternum at the angle of Louis. The spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebrae can be palpated in the midline posteriorly, but it should be remembered that the first spinous process that can be felt is that of C7 (the vertebra prominens). The position of the nipple varies considerably in the female, but in the male it usually lies in the 4th intercostal space about 4in (10cm) from the midline. -

ABSTRACT Background: Chronic maxillary sinusitis is one of the common ENT problems. Accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) has been postulated in many publications to play a role in the development of chronic maxillary sinusitis. AMO is found in the medial wall of maxillary sinus and located in the lateral wall of the nose. It’s been frequently identified in the routine nasal endoscopy. The variations in the location of AMO have been evaluated by nasal endoscopy in live subjects or through cadaver dissections by many authors. This live study is conducted to identify the prevalence of AMO during nasal endoscopic evaluation of chronic sinusitis patients. -
The Influence of the Rib Cage on the Static and Dynamic Stability
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The infuence of the rib cage on the static and dynamic stability responses of the scoliotic spine Shaowei Jia1,2, Liying Lin3, Hufei Yang2, Jie Fan2, Shunxin Zhang2 & Li Han3* The thoracic cage plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the thoracolumbar spine. In this study, the infuence of a rib cage on static and dynamic responses in normal and scoliotic spines was investigated. Four spinal fnite element (FE) models (T1–S), representing a normal spine with rib cage (N1), normal spine without rib cage (N2), a scoliotic spine with rib cage (S1) and a scoliotic spine without rib cage (S2), were established based on computed tomography (CT) images, and static, modal, and steady-state analyses were conducted. In S2, the Von Mises stress (VMS) was clearly decreased compared to S1 for four bending loadings. N2 and N1 showed a similar VMS to each other, and there was a signifcant increase in axial compression in N2 and S2 compared to N1 and S1, respectively. The U magnitude values of N2 and S2 were higher than in N1 and S1 for fve loadings, respectively. The resonant frequencies of N2 and S2 were lower than those in N1 and S1, respectively. In steady-state analysis, maximum amplitudes of vibration for N2 and S2 were signifcantly larger than N1 and S1, respectively. This study has revealed that the rib cage improves spinal stability in vibrating environments and contributes to stability in scoliotic spines under static and dynamic loadings. Scoliosis, a three-dimensional deformity, prevents healthy development.
