VERTEBRAL COLUMNfrom the cranium (skull) to the apex

of the coccyx¼ formed by the intervertebral (IV) discs.

IV discs separate and bind the vertebrae together.

Page 4: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

VERTEBRAL COLUMN

Protects the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

Supports the weight of the body superior to the level of the pelvis.

Provides a partly rigid and flexible axis for the body and an extended base on which the head is placed and pivots.

Plays an important role in posture and locomotion (the movement from one place to another).

VERTEBRAE

Significant motion occurs between 24 superior vertebrae.

Of the 9 inferior vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae fused in adults to form the sacrum

After ~ 30, the 4 coccygeal vertebrae fuse to form the coccyx

Vertebral notches (Incisura vertebralis) Indentations observed in lateral views of the vertebrae Superior and inferior to each pedicle Between the superior and inferior articular processes posteriorly Between the corresponding projections of the body anteriorly.

Page 15: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

The superior and inferior vertebral notches of adjacent vertebrae and the IV discs form intervertebral foramina

Intervertebral foraminaSpinal (posterior root) ganglia are located Spinal nerves emerge from the vertebral column with their accompanying vessels through these foramina.

Page 16: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Regional Characteristics of Vertebrae

vertebrae having foramina in their transverse processes are cervical vertebrae

Page 17: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

articular facets orientation in each region differentMovement needed

articular facets of thoracic vertebrae nearly vertical, define an arc centered in the IV disc this arrangement permits rotation and lateral flexion of the vertebral column in this region.

Page 18: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Regional variations in size and shape of the vertebral canal accommodate the varying thickness of the spinal

cord.

B Common arrangement

C CAUDAL SHIFT• Rib 12 is large.• A small lumbar rib is present.• S1 partially "lumbarized" .• Co1 is incorporated into the sacrum

Curvatures in the Vertebral Column 1. The neck or

cervical spine, curves gently inward (lordosis)2. The mid back, or thoracic spine, curved outward (kyphosis)3. The low back, or lumbar spine, also curves inward (lordosis)4. Pelvic (Sacral) curvature

Page 56: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

RIBS, COSTAL CARTILAGES, AND INTERCOSTAL SPACES

Ribs (L. costae) are curved, flat bones that form most of the thoracic cage.

Remarkably light in weight yet highly resilient.

Each rib has a spongy interior containing bone marrow (hematopoietic tissue), which forms blood cells.

Page 57: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

There are three types of ribs that can be classified as typical or atypical

True (vertebrocostal) ribs (1st-7th ribs): They attach directly to the sternum through their own costal cartilages.False (vertebrochondral) ribs (8th, 9th, and usually 10th ribs): Their cartilages are connected to the cartilage of the rib above them; thus their connection with the sternum is indirect.Floating (vertebral, free) ribs (11th, 12th, and sometimes 10th ribs): The rudimentary cartilages of these ribs do not connect even indirectly with the sternum; instead they end in the posterior abdominal musculature.

Page 58: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM
Page 59: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Typical ribs (3rd-9th) have the following components:

Head: wedge-shaped and has two facets, separated by the crest of the head; one facet for articulation with the numerically corresponding vertebra and one facet for the vertebra superior to it.

Neck: connects the head of the rib with the body at the level of the tubercle.

Page 60: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Tubercle: located at the junction of the neck and bodyarticulates with the corresponding transverse process of the vertebra

Page 61: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Body (shaft): thin, flat, and curved, most markedly at the costal angle where the rib turns anterolaterally.

The angle also demarcates the lateral limit of attachment of the deep back muscles to the ribs.

The concave internal surface of the body has a costal groove paralleling the inferior border of the rib, which provides some protection for the intercostal nerve and vessels.

Page 62: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM
Page 63: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Atypical ribs (1st, 2nd, and 10th-12th) are dissimilar:The 1st rib is the broadest (i.e., its body is widest and nearly horizontal), shortest, and most sharply curved of the 7 true ribs.

A single facet on its head for articulation with the T1 vertebra only 2 transversely directed grooves crossing its superior surface for the subclavian vessels; the grooves are separated by a scalene tubercle and ridge, to which the anterior scalene muscle is attached..

Page 64: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

The 2nd rib is has a thinner, less curved body and is substantially longer than the 1st rib.

Its head has two facets for articulation with the bodies of the T1 and T2 vertebrae.

Main atypical feature is, the tuberosity for serratus anteriora rough area on its upper surfacefrom which part of that muscle originates

Page 65: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

10th-12th ribs, like the 1st rib, have only one facet on their heads and articulate with a single vertebra.

11th and 12th ribs are short and have no neck or tubercle.

Page 66: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Costal cartilages Prolong the ribs anteriorly Contribute to the elasticity of the thoracic wallProvide a flexible attachment for their anterior ends (tips).

The cartilages increase in length through the first 7 and then gradually decrease.

Page 67: VERTEBRAL COLUMN, RIBS & STERNUM

Intercostal spaces Separate the ribs and their costal cartilages from one another. Named according to the rib forming the superior border of the space.

4th intercostal space lies between ribs 4 and 5.

11 intercostal spaces and 11 intercostal nerves intercostal muscles and membranes, and two sets (main and collateral) of intercostal blood vessels and nerves

identified by the same number assigned to the space.
