  • 2-Ribs There are 12 pairs of ribs, all of which are attached posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae. The ribs are divided into three categories according to their relation to the sternum: False ribs: The 8th, 9th, and 10th pairs of ribs are attached anteriorly to each other and to the 7th rib by means of their costal cartilages. True ribs: The upper seven pairs are attached anteriorly to the sternum by their costal cartilages Floating ribs: The 11th and 12th pairs have no anterior attachment

  • The body and the vertebral arch are connected by means of pedicles
  • Slide 10
  • The pedicles are notched on their upper and lower borders Forming the superior and inferior vertebral notches. The pedicles are notched on their upper and lower borders Forming the superior and inferior vertebral notches. These foramina, in an articulated skeleton, serve to transmit the spinal nerves and blood vessels. On each side the superior notch of one vertebra and the inferior notch of an adjacent vertebra together form an intervertebral foramen. On each side the superior notch of one vertebra and the inferior notch of an adjacent vertebra together form an intervertebral foramen.

  • The external intercostal muscle the most superficial layer. Its fibers are directed downward and forward the most superficial layer. Its fibers are directed downward and forward The Internal Intercostal Muscle forms the intermediate layer. Its fibers are directed downward and backward forms the intermediate layer. Its fibers are directed downward and backward

  • The innermost intercostal muscle Forms the deepest layer It is an incomplete muscle layer and crosses more than one intercostal space within the ribs.

  • B-CHEST CAVITY The chest cavity is bounded by the chest wall and below by the diaphragm
  • Slide 18
  • The chest cavity can be divided into LATERALLY PLACED PLEURAE AND LUNGS MEDIAN PARTITION CALLED THE MEDIASTINUM MEDIAN PARTITION CALLED THE MEDIASTINUM
  • Slide 19
  • 2-Pleurae The pleurae and lungs lie on either side of the mediastinum within the chest cavity the lung is covered with visceral pleura and the thoracic wall is lined with parietal pleura FORMATION OF THE LUNGS Each lung bud invaginates the wall of the cavity and then grows to fill a greater part of the cavity The original cavity is reduced to a slitlike space called the pleural cavity as a result of the growth of the lung.

  • Each pleura has two parts: 2- Visceral layer: completely covers the outer surfaces of The lungs 2- Visceral layer: completely covers the outer surfaces of The lungs 1- Parietal layer, which lines A-The thoracic wall 1- Parietal layer, which lines A-The thoracic wall

  • Inhalation of foreign bodies into the lower respiratory tract is common, especially in children Because the right bronchus is the wider and more direct continuation of the trachea foreign bodies tend to enter the right instead of the left bronchus Inhalation of foreign bodies into the lower respiratory tract is common, especially in children Because the right bronchus is the wider and more direct continuation of the trachea foreign bodies tend to enter the right instead of the left bronchus INHALED FOREIGN BODIES
  • Slide 25
  • Lungs In the child, they are pink, but with age, they become dark because of the inhalation of dust particles that become trapped in the phagocytes of the lung. The lungs are situated so that one lies on each side of the mediastinum. Each lung is conical, covered with visceral pleura
  • Slide 26
  • Each lung has a blunt apex, which projects upward into the neck for about 1 in. (2.5 cm) above the clavicle a concave base that sits on the diaphragm a convex costal surface, which corresponds to the concave chest wall a concave mediastinal surface, which is molded to the pericardium and other mediastinal structures At about the middle of mediastinal surface is the hilum a depression in which the bronchi, vessels, and nerves that form the root enter and leave the lung. At about the middle of mediastinal surface is the hilum a depression in which the bronchi, vessels, and nerves that form the root enter and leave the lung. The anterior border is thin and overlaps the heart The posterior border is thick and lies beside the vertebral column The anterior border is thin and overlaps the heart The posterior border is thick and lies beside the vertebral column
