Ribs<br />

12 pairs <strong>of</strong> ribs<br />

o no difference between sexes<br />

o posterior (proximal) end attached to vertebral column<br />

o anterior (distal) ends mostly attached to <strong>the</strong> sternum<br />

o costal cartilages composed <strong>of</strong> hyaline cartilage attach anterior ends to<br />

sternum<br />

head – portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rib that articulates with <strong>the</strong> thoracic vertebrae<br />

o superior articular facet<br />

o inferior articular facet<br />

neck – narrow portion distal to <strong>the</strong> head<br />

tubercle – wider rough area distal to <strong>the</strong> neck<br />

o articulates with transverse costal facet <strong>of</strong> vertebra<br />

angle – lateral curve <strong>of</strong> rib<br />

shaft – long, gentle sloping, bladelike portion <strong>of</strong> rib<br />

o costal groove on inferior margin <strong>of</strong> shaft<br />

True and False Ribs<br />

true ribs (ribs 1 to 7)<br />

o each has its own costal cartilage connecting it to <strong>the</strong> sternum<br />

false ribs (ribs 8-12)<br />

o lack independent cartilaginous connection to <strong>the</strong> sternum<br />

o floating ribs (ribs 11 – 12)<br />

articulate with bodies <strong>of</strong> vertebrae T11 and T12<br />

do not have tubercles<br />

do not attach to transverse processes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vertebra<br />

no cartilaginous connection to <strong>the</strong> sternum or any <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

higher costal cartilages<br />

Pectoral Girdle<br />

pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle) – supports <strong>the</strong> arm<br />

consists <strong>of</strong> two bones on each side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body<br />

o clavicle (collarbone) and scapula (shoulder blade)<br />

clavicle articulates medially to <strong>the</strong> sternum and laterally to <strong>the</strong> scapula<br />

o sternoclavicular joint<br />

o acromioclavicular joint<br />

scapula articulates with <strong>the</strong> humerus<br />

o glenohumeral joint - shoulder joint<br />

o easily dislocated due to loose attachment<br />

Clavicle<br />

clavicle - S-shaped, somewhat flattened bone
