Name the bones involved in the shoulder joint?

The shoulder girdle (or pectoral girdle) consists of the clavicle (collar bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade) The Humerus (bone of the upper arm) fits into a cavity in the scapula called the glenoid cavity. The clavicles ("little keys") are long bones that extend across the top of the chest and are attached to the sternum (breast bone) at their medial (towards the midline of the body) ends. The lateral (towards the outside of the body) ends attach to the scapula. The scapulae ("spade" or "shovel") are thin triangular flat bones which lie between ribs 2 and 7.


What Ribs are attach individually to the sternum by way of the coastal cartilage?

Ribs 8 to 10 are attached individually to the sternum by way of the costal cartilage. Ribs 1 to 7 are attached directly to the sternum, while ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs without any attachment to the sternum.


What is cranial nerve 7?

Cranial nerve 7 is also referred to as the facial nerve. It has both sensory and motor components. Its sensory portion is responsible for taste on the anterior two thirds of the tongue as well as sensation for a small patch of skin by the ear. Its motor component is responsible for innervating the muscles of facial expression.


How are the ribs classified on the basis of their attachment to the sternum?

Ribs are classified according to their attachment to the sternum. The first seven pairs of ribs attach directly to the sternum and are called true ribs. Ribs 8-10 have cartilage that attaches to the cartilage of the seventh rib and are called false ribs. The eleventh and twelfth ribs do not attach to the sternum and are called floating ribs.


Can you explain the differences between rib 7 and rib 8 in terms of their structure and function"?

Rib 7 and rib 8 have similar structures, both being curved bones that protect the chest cavity. However, rib 7 is slightly shorter and more angled than rib 8. In terms of function, rib 7 provides protection for the lower part of the chest and helps support the muscles involved in breathing, while rib 8 offers additional support and protection for the organs in the upper abdomen.

What makes up the scapulothoracic joint?

The scapulothoracic joint is not a true joint in the sense in that it has no capsule or ligamentous attachments. It is more precisely identified as the scapulothoracic articulation. It is formed between the anterior scapula and the posterior thoracic rib cage(ribs 2-7). The scapula's attachment to the axial skeleton in a healthy shoulder is purely musculotendinous in nature, formed by the trapezius and serratus muscles. Its gliding movement patterns consist of elevation/depression, retraction/protraction, and superior/inferior rotation. However, fibrous adhesions can sometimes occur following a shoulder injury, particularly if the joint has been immobilized for a long period of time. This severely impairs the movement of the shoulder, particularly with abduction past 90 degrees.

How many bones are in human rib cage?

A typical human rib cage consists of 24 ribs, the sternum (with xiphoid process), costal cartilages, and the 12 thoracic vertebrae. Together with the skin and associated fascia and muscles, the rib cage makes up the thoracic wall and provides attachments for the muscles of the neck, thorax, upper abdomen, and back.

Why does your muscles lose size about 7 hours after your last work out?

the most likely answer is because your muscles are tense after a work out, therefore they weigh more. so the longer you go with out working out the more weight you lose. if you were to go out after a work out and jog do something that uses your muscles more. then you would lose less weight in 7 hours.
