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. -

Costochondritis
Department of Rehabilitation Services Physical Therapy Standard of Care: Costochondritis Case Type / Diagnosis: Costochondritis ICD-9: 756.3 (rib-sternum anomaly) 727.2 (unspecified disorder of synovium) Costochondritis (CC) is a benign inflammatory condition of the costochondral or costosternal joints that causes localized pain. 1 The onset is insidious, though patient may note particular activity that exacerbates it. The etiology is not clear, but it is most likely related to repetitive trauma. Symptoms include intermittent pain at costosternal joints and tenderness to palpation. It most frequently occurs unilaterally at ribs 2-5, but can occur at other levels as well. Symptoms can be exacerbated by trunk movement and deep breathing, but will decrease with quiet breathing and rest. 2 CC usually responds to conservative treatment, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. A review of the relevant anatomy may be helpful in understanding the pathology. The chest wall is made up of the ribs, which connect the vertebrae posteriorly with the sternum anteriorly. Posteriorly, the twelve ribs articulate with the spine through both the costovertebral and costotransverse joints forming the most hypomobile region of the spine. Anteriorly, ribs 1-7 articulate with the costocartilages at the costochondral joints, which are synchondroses without ligamentous support. The costocartilage then attaches directly to the sternum as the costosternal joints, which are synovial joints having a capsule and ligamentous support. Ribs 8-10 attach to the sternum via the cartilage at the rib above, while ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs, without an anterior articulation. 3 There are many causes of musculo-skeletal chest pain arising from the ribs and their articulations, including rib trauma, slipping rib syndrome, costovertebral arthritis and Tietze’s syndrome. -

Thoracic Cage EDU - Module 2 > Thorax & Spine > Thorax & Spine Thoracic cage • Protects the chest organs (the heart and lungs). Main Structures: The sternum (aka, breastbone) lies anteriorly. 12 thoracic vertebrae lie posteriorly. 12 ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae. Sternum • Manubrium (superiorly) • Body (long and flat, middle portion) • Xiphoid process - Easily injured during chest compression (for CPR). • Sternal angle - Where manubrium and body meet - Easily palpated to find rib 2 • Sternal indentations: - Jugular notch (aka, suprasternal notch) is on the superior border of the manubrium. - Clavicular notches are to the sides of the jugular notch; these are where the clavicles (aka, collarbones), articulate with the sternum. - Costal notches articulate with the costal cartilages of the ribs ("costal" refers to the ribs). Rib Types • True ribs - Ribs 1-7; articulate with the sternum directly via their costal cartilages. • False ribs - Ribs 8-12; do not articulate directly with the sternum. - Ribs 11 and 12 are "floating ribs," do not articulate at all with the sternum. 1 / 2 Rib Features • Head - Articulates with the vertebral body; typically comprises two articular surfaces separated by a bony crest. • Neck - Extends from the head, and terminates at the tubercle. • Tubercle - Comprises an articular facet, which is where the rib articulates with the transverse process of the vertebra. • Shaft - Longest portion of the rib, extends from tubercle to rib end. • Angle - Bend in rib, just lateral to tubercle. Rib/vertebra articulation • Head and tubercle of rib articulate with body and thoracic process of vertebrae. Intercostal spaces • The spaces between the ribs • House muscles and neurovascular structures. -
Lab Manual Axial Skeleton Atla
1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES When studying the skeletal system, the bones are often sorted into two broad categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. This lab focuses on the axial skeleton, which consists of the bones that form the axis of the body. The axial skeleton includes bones in the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage, as well as the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. In addition to learning about all the bones of the axial skeleton, it is also important to identify some significant bone markings. Bone markings can have many shapes, including holes, round or sharp projections, and shallow or deep valleys, among others. These markings on the bones serve many purposes, including forming attachments to other bones or muscles and allowing passage of a blood vessel or nerve. It is helpful to understand the meanings of some of the more common bone marking terms. Before we get started, look up the definitions of these common bone marking terms: Canal: Condyle: Facet: Fissure: Foramen: (see Module 10.18 Foramina of Skull) Fossa: Margin: Process: Throughout this exercise, you will notice bold terms. This is meant to focus your attention on these important words. Make sure you pay attention to any bold words and know how to explain their definitions and/or where they are located. Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the axial skeleton. As you explore these bones in Visible Body’s app, also locate the bones and bone markings on any available charts, models, or specimens. You may also find it helpful to palpate bones on yourself or make drawings of the bones with the bone markings labeled. -

Variations in size and shape of xiphoid process are commonly observed. During teaching sternum to 1st M.B.B.S. students of MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai, two small foramina in two different xiphoid processes were noticed. Though presence of foramen in xiphoid process is not uncommon, their presence should not be ignored. During assessment of injuries in autopsy, post-mortem examination and radiological reporting knowledge of xiphoid process and foramina in xiphoid process will be helpful.

Introduction Sternum is a flat bone which forms anterior boundary of thoracic wall. Prosternum or manubrium, mesosternum or body and metasternum or xiphoid process are the three components of sternum. The distal and smallest component is xiphoid process which is located in epigastrium. Xiphoid process is derived from the Greek word “xiphos” means straight sword1.
