Place your hand between the dogs front legs and you will find the breast-bone [sternum] where the ribs from both sides join. Find the base of the sternum where the last 2 ribs join it.

What does the clavicle join the sternum to?

This question doesn't really make sense... The clavicle is the collarbone. The sternum - usually people are referring to the manubrium when talking about the sternum - is the hard bone that looks like the body of a necktie protecting your heart in the front of the body. The ribs attach to the sternum in front, to the spine in back. The clavicle attaches to the sternum at the notch at the base of your neck. When you protract the shoulders (hunch them forward), the notch is more pronounced for ease of location. In fact, the sternoclavicular joint is the only skeletal attachment of the shoulder complex. So really, the clavicle doesn't join the sternum to anything. The clavicle is joined to the sternum, giving the shoulder girdle it's one attachment to the axial skeleton.

Where do you listen first when auscultating lungs?

Hearing the heart sounds requires proper pressure of the diaphragm of a stethoscope to the skin. To hear the pulmonary valve, a stethoscope is placed directly below the valve along the sternum above the third rib. The bicuspid valve is best heard between the fifth and sixth ribs at the apex of the heart. The aortic valve is heard best on the opposite side of the sternum from the pulmonary in the second intercostal space. The tricuspid valve is best heard where the sternum and sixth rib join.


All of the ribs join with what part of the spine?
