THORACIC CAGE
• Thoracic skeleton consists of consists of 12 thoracic vertebrae, 12 pairs of ribs and coastal cartilages and the sternum
• Upper Aperture is formed by the body of the 1st thoracic vertebrae, 1st rib, 1st cartilage and the upper sternum margin.
• The lower aperture is formed by the lower 6 coastal cartilages and the 12th ribs, the xiphoid process in front and the body of the 12th thoracic vertebra behind.
• The 11th rib is longer than the 12th rib even close to the iliac crest.

• Thoracic cavity is kidney shaped on T/S because the ribs are carried backward beyond the vertebral bodies.
• Diaphragm dome rises to 5th or 6th rib level so bony thorax protects the heart and lungs also the upper abdominal viscera: liver, stomach and spleen.

SKELETAL ARTICULATION • The costovertebral articulations include the joints of the head of the
rib with two adjacent vertebral bodies and the tubercle of the rib with the transverse process of a vertebra.
• There are two articular facets on the head of the rib: a larger, inferior costal facet for articulation with the vertebral body of its own number, and a smaller, superior costal facet for articulation with the vertebral body of the vertebra superior to the rib.
• The crest of the head of the rib separates the superior and inferior costal facets.
• The smooth articular part of the tubercle of the rib, the transverse costal facet, articulates with the transverse process of the same numbered vertebra at the costotransverse joint.

THE XIPHOID PROCESS. • Is a flat, cartilaginous process at birth that ossifies
slowly from the central core and unites with the body of the sternum after middle age.
• Lies at the level of T10 vertebra, and the xiphisternal joint lies at the level of the T9 vertebral body, which marks the lower limit of the thoracic cavity in front, the upper surface of the liver, diaphragm, and lower border of the heart.
• It descends a variable distance downward to the posterior wall of the sheath of the rectus abdominis.
• Its half as thick the body of the sternum and posteriorly flush with the posterior surface of the body.

THE RIBS • A rib bone and its cartilages constitute a costa.
• There are 12 pairs of costae. • Every rib articulates posteriorly with the vertebral column. • They are in 3 classes: • True or Vertebrosternal ribs: The cartilages of the upper 7 pairs
of ribs articulate directly with the sternum. • Vertebrochondral ribs: the cartilages of 8th, 9thand 10th
articulate each with the costal cartilage above it. • Floating or Vertebral ribs: The cartilaginous end of the last pairs-
11th & 12th are free. • Classes 2 & 3 are also called false ribs. • Ribs are flattened ,a very thin outer compact layer and highly
resilient. • The 1st rib is the highest , strongest, flattest and most curved
ribs.

THE RIBS (CONTD) • Typical rib consists of:
• BODY: Internal and external surfaces, superior or inferior borders; an angle and a costal groove.
• The body posterior ¼ is cylindrical and anterior ¾ is compressed.
• VERTEBRAL END: Head, neck and tubercle.
• STERNAL END: Pit for costal cartilage.

COSTAL JOINTS –
HEAD OF A RIB
• The head of a rib articulates with the sides of the bodies of the 2 vertebrae.
• The tubercle of a rib articulates with tip of a transverse process.
• The costal cartilage articulate with the sides of 2 sternebrae.

COSTAL JOINTS- Costovertebral articulation:
• Joint of the head of the rib.
• Joint of the tubercle of a rib.
• The head of each typical rib (2nd – 10th) articulates with the demifacet of 2 adjacent vertebrae and with the intervertebral disc between them.
• Attachment to the intervertebral disc is by the intra-articular ligament.
• Ribs 1, (10), 11 and 12 heads are confined to single vertebrae, are rounded and have no intra-articular ligament.

• Sternocostal articulation: Each joint cavity is divided into 2 by intra-articular ligarment, it is closed ventrally by a ligament that radiates from the perichondrium to the sternum.
• Interchondral articulation: Except for the 12th cartilage, the lower cartilages form joint – synovial or fibrous, or complete union with each other.

TUBERCLE OF A RIB
• The tubercle of a rib articulates with the facet at the tip of the transverse process of its own vertebra (except 11 and 12) to form a synovial joint called a costotransverse joint.
• The ligamentous fibers are divided into medial and lateral group.
• Medial costotransverse ligament for ligament of the neck and lateral costotransverse ligament for the ligament of the tubercle.
• Another band of superior costotransverse descend from a transverse process to the upper border of the of the rib next below, producing a sharp crest of the neck.

ANGLE OF THE RIB
• Vertical insertion of the iliocostalis are at most backwardly projecting part of the outer surface of the ribs.
• Anterior to this, the ribs are twisted downward, forward, and medially.

Intercostal Nerves • Anterior primary rami of the first 11 thoracic spinal nerves.
• Subcostal nerve: This is the anterior primary ramus of the 12th thoracic spinal nerve which runs beneath the 12th rib.
• Run between the internal and innermost layers of muscles, with the intercostal veins and arteries above (veins, arteries, nerves [VAN]).
• Give rise to lateral and anterior cutaneous branches and muscular branches.
• Lateral cutaneous branch is the largest of the branches is the which pierces the lateral thoracic wall and divides into an anterior branch and a posterior branch that innervate the overlying skin.

THE INTERNAL THORACIC ARTERY (INTERNAL MAMMARY A.)
• It is a branch of the Subclavian artery, descend from the sternum behind the upper 6 costal cartilages.
• Gives rise to two anterior intercostal arteries in each of the upper six intercostal spaces
• It divides into 2 terminal branches at the coastal margin: Superior Epigastric & Musclophrenic arteries.
• Musclophrenic artery gives off 2 Ant. Intercoastal Arteries at 7th, 8th and 9th intercoastal spaces. It passes backward to anastomose with the posterior vessels.
• The superior epigastric artery descends behind 7th costal cartilage to anastomose with the inferior epigastric branch of the external iliac A.
Branches:
• Pericardiophrenic artery that run with Phrenic N.
• Perforating or cutaneous
• Mediastinal branches

THORACIC WALL VEINS
Intercostal Vein • Each intercostal space has 1 posterior and 2 anterior
intercostal veins of the accompanying artery. • Anterior veins Musculophrenic & Int. thoracic V. • Posterior veins are not regular Brachiocephalic vein. Internal Thoracic Vein • Formed by the confluence of the Sup. Epigastric &
Musculophrenic veins, ascends on the medial side of the artery, receives the upper six Ant. Intercostal & Pericardiacophrenic Veins Brachiocephalic vein.
Thoracoepigastric Vein • Venous connection between the lateral thoracic vein and the
superficial epigastric vein.

LYMPHATICS OF THORACIC WALL PARASTERNAL NODES
• Associated with the internal thoracic arteries
• Receive lymph from the medial portion of the breast, intercostal spaces, diaphragm, and supraumbilical region of the abdominal wall.
• Drain into the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins.
INTERCOSTAL NODES
• Associated with the heads and necks of ribs
• Receive lymph from the intercostal spaces and the pleura.
• Drain into the cisterna chyli or the thoracic duct
DIAPHRAGMATIC NODES
• Associated with the diaphragm
• Receive lymph from the pericardium, diaphragm, and liver.
• Drain into the sternal and posterior mediastinal nodes.
