What is the function of sternal angle?
it marks the position of the second rib
Is the sternal angle an important landmark for finding the position of the second rib?
Yes, the sternal angle, also known as the angle of Louis, is an important anatomical landmark for locating the second rib. It is found at the junction of the manubrium and the body of the sternum and typically aligns with the second rib. By palpating the sternal angle, clinicians can easily identify the second rib and subsequent ribs, facilitating procedures such as auscultation or the placement of medical devices.

What are the structures that pass through the sternal angle?
The structures that pass through the sternal angle, also known as the angle of Louis, include the aortic arch, the trachea, the thoracic duct, and the ligamentum arteriosum. This anatomical landmark is important for identifying the level of the second rib and the intervertebral disc between T4 and T5.
What pair of ribs indicates the location of the sternal angle?
The second pair of ribs or the True ribs

What two points are used to measure jugular venous pressure?
