Sternum

thorax is critical for understanding the vast multiplex of injuries sustained in various different circumstances. Anatomy The skeleton of the thoracic wall is formed by • the spinal column and 12 thoracic vertebrae • the sternum • 12 paired ribs and costal cartilages The sternum It is a dagger-shaped bone, which forms the anterior part of the thoracic cage and consists of three parts. • The manubrium • The body • The xiphoid process The ribs The ribs run in an oblique, inferior direction from

Pectus excavatum is when someone's sternum grows in-word. Happens shortly after birth or happens after a major growth spurt. This can cause moderate to major pressure on the heart and lungs, which can cause: Pectus excavatum can also make teens very self-conscious about their body image. My chest started looking deep around the age of ten-twelve. I hated taking my shirt off to swim, it hurt to run and felt sick more often then what I should. So I went to the doctor about it and they gave me and

Exam/Projections: PA Chest Critique: • This is a proper radiograph and meets all evaluation criteria. • All desired anatomy is demonstrated such as lungs, apices, and costophrenic angles. • The scapula does not overlap the lung field. • The right and left sternal ends of the clavicles are the same distance from the center line of the spine thus ensuring no rotation and good positioning. • It shows a minimum of ten pairs of posterior ribs. • The radiograph displays exposure at the end of 2nd

In the Fall of 2011, it had been decided I was going to have a surgery called pectus excavatum repair in September of 2012. When I was age five, my mom had started noticing my chest sinking into me like there was a person pressing on my breastbone.

After you shoot a deer and you know it's dead, it’s really good to know how to gut it and dress it. This paper will show you how to do all that stuff including what kind of knives and skinners to use. First off, you lay the deer on its back. You have to spread the legs apart and dislocate the hip joints if you have to. Then, after you spread the legs apart, you take your knife and start at the butt. You stick your knife in the butt and cut upwards. Do that until you hit the breast bone. The breast

As a group, we all learned about the different parts within the vertebral column and the ribs. Each of us took different parts and examined them. Destiny went over vocabulary, diseases that may affect the vertebrae, and extra information on the five types of curvatures in the vertebrae. She passed out a diagram of the regional characteristics of the vertebrae and the vertebral column. Next, Shelby went over the movement allowed in the ribs and vertebrae, the bones in the axial skeleton, and ways

These are organised into two major divisions, the axial skeletal and the appendicular skeleton. The main organs in the axial skeleton are the skull, hyoid, auditory ossicles, ribs, sternum and the vertebral column. The skull is formed from 22 bones, 21 of which are fused together. However, one bone called the mandible remains moveable, for the jaw. The cranium, located in the superior portion of the skull protects the brain from damage

one can find the thoracic vertebrae, the sternum, and the ribs. It encloses the heart, the lungs, and provides attachment for the pectoral girdle and the upper limb. The cage protects the thoracic organs, the spleen, most of the liver, and the kidneys. The thoracic cage’s most important role is in breathing. It rhythmically expands by the respiratory muscles and creates a vacuum that draws air into the lungs, and then compressed to expel air. The sternum is divided into three regions: the manubrium
