The correct order of ribs from superior to inferior are true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. Humans have 24 ribs.
true ribs, false ribs, floating ribs
The order of ribs from superior to inferior is: True ribs (1-7) False ribs (8-10) Floating ribs (11-12)
the lungs are anterior to the ribs
The surface of the superior articular will work right above the inferior surface in a vertebra. This is not true in the atlas.
The two locations on a thoracic vertebra where the ribs articulate are the costal facets on the sides of the vertebral body and the transverse costal facets on the transverse processes. These articulations form the joints that connect the ribs to the thoracic vertebrae.
The three parts of the sternum are the manubrium, the body (also called the gladiolus), and the xiphoid process. The manubrium is the top portion that connects to the clavicles, the body is the middle and longest part, and the xiphoid process is the smallest and most inferior portion.
The normal liver is primarily considered deep to the right ribs. With a large breath, it may also be slightly inferior to the rib cage.
The ribs and the hand are not on a limb together, so they cannot be described in relation to each other using "proximal" and "distal." The ribs are superior and medial to the hands in anatomical position.
Any person who was born with the correct amount of ribs has 11 ribs in all.
Clavicle and scapula bones have attachment to thorax by joint and/or muscles. So they are overlapping to the thorax and superior extremity. Conventionally they are placed in superior extremity.
The inferior border of the thoracic region is the bottom of the ribs. Thus all the ribs are within the thoracic region, icluding the two flaoting ribs at the bottom.
The Xiphoid Process is part of the Sternum (breast bone). It is the inferior part to which the Costal Cartillage of the False Ribs attaches. The xyphoid process, which is the inferior portion of the sternum.
