Lab- Vertebrae, Sternum, Ribs

Front 1

Name and visualize the 14 parts common to most vertebrae:

Back 1

1- Body
2- Spinous process
3- Transverse Process
4- Pedicle
5- Lamina
6- Pars Interaticularis (area between the superior and inferior articular processes. Is best seen on the lunbar)
7- Vertebral Foramen
8- Superior articular process
9- Inferior Articular Process
10- Superior Articular Facet
11- Inferior Articular Facet
12- Superior Vertebral Notch
13- Inferior Vertebral Notch
14- Intervertebral Foramen (you need 2 vertebrae to tag this)

Front 2

What are the 2 unique aspects of cervical Vertebrae:

Back 2

1- Transverse Foramen
2- Bifid spinous process

Front 3

name and visualize the 6 unique things to the Atlas (C1)

Back 3

1- Posterior Arch
2- Posterior Tubercle
3- Anterior Arch
4- Anterior Tubercle
5- Lateral Mass
6- Facet for dens of axis

Front 4

what and visualize the 1 unique part of the Axis (C2)

Back 4

1- Dens

Front 5

Name and visualize the 3 unique aspects of the Thoracic Vertebrae

Back 5

1- Full Costal Facet (found on T1, T10, T11, T12
2- Superior and Inferior Demicostal Facet (Found on T1-T9)

So the Full costal facets and the demicostal facets are found on the body of the vertebrae.

3- Costal Facet on the transverse process (T1-T12)

Front 6

what is the 1 unique things that is most easily seen on lumbar vertebrae

Back 6

1- Pars Interarticularis)

Front 7

Name and visualize the 9 parts of the Sacrum:

Back 7

1- Promontory
2- Ala (the wing part. Represents a pretty big surface)
3- Median Sacral crest (represents the fused spinous processes)
4- Sacral Canal
5- Sacral Hiatus (posterior inferior part)
6- Sacral Foramina
7- Superior Articular Process(is the part that articulates with the last Lumbar vertebrae)
8- Auricular Surface (is on the sides)
9- Coccyx

Front 8

Name and visualize the 7 parts of the Sternum:

Back 8

1- Manubrium
2- Jugular Notch (most superior)
3- Clavicular Notch (notch that goes off at an angle, just inferior and lateral to the jugular notch)
4- Sternal Angle (the part between the manubrium and the body
5- Notches for costal cartilage
6- Xiphoid Process(the small most inferior bone)
7- Body

Front 9

Name and visualize the 7 parts of the ribs

Back 9

1- Head of rib (articulates with a vertebral body)
2- Neck of rib
3- Articulating Tubercle (Is closer to head, fairly flat)
4- Non-articulating Tubercle (is more of an actual tubercle)

The Tubercles are on the inferior side of the rib

5- Costal Groove (on the inferior side)
6- Sternal end of rib
7- Body of rib
