Joints of Thorax PPT Summary
- The thoracic wall consists of various joints, including intervertebral, costovertebral, costochondral, interchondral, sternocostal, sternoclavicular, manubriosternal, and xiphisternal joints.
- Interchondral joints between the 7th-9th costal cartilages allow for articulation and can be connected by ligaments.
- The manubriosternal joint allows minimal slipping movements of the body of the sternum on the manubrium.
- The xiphisternal joint usually ossifies to form a synostosis between the two sternal elements.
- The costovertebral joints are formed by the articulation of articular facets on the head of ribs and costal facets on the bodies of thoracic vertebrae.
