wedge-shaped bone formed by fusion of 5 sacral vertebrae

138
Q

What does the apex of the sacrum articulate with?

A

apex of bone points inferiorly and articulates with coccyx

139
Q

What does the base of the sacrum articulate with?

A

base of bone faces superiorly and articulates with 5th lumbar vertebra (LV)

140
Q

What does the lateral surface of the sacrum have?

What does it articulate with?

A

carry auricular surface (L-shaped articular surface) that articulates with similar articular surfaces on hip bone

141
Q

What does the anterior surface of the sacrum have?

A

relatively smooth and concave

has 4 pairs of anterior sacral foramina for passage of anterior rami of sacral spinal nerve

142
Q

What does the posterior surface of the sacrum have?

A

convex

remnants of sacral vertebral processes are presented as sacral crests

4 pairs of posterior sacral foramina for passage of posterior rami of sacral spinal nerves

143
Q

What is the promontory?

A

anterior margin of superior surface of vertebra SI

on either side has triangular surface called surface ala

144
Q

What is the sacral cana?

A

continuation of vertebral canal in sacrum

145
Q

What is a sacral hiatus?

A

opening formed if laminae of vertebrae SV fail to fuse together at end of sacral canal

146
Q

What is the coccyx?

A

(tail bone) small triangular bone formed by fusion of 4-5 coccygeal vertebrae

147
Q

What does the apex and base of the coccyx articulate with?

A

apex is free

base of bone articulates with vertebra SV

148
Q

What is the sternum?

A

(breast bone) flat bone that contributes to formation of anterior thoracic wall

149
Q

What is the sternum composed of (3)?

A

composed of manubrium, body, xiphoid process

150
Q

What is the manubrium of the sternum?

A

trapezoid bony plate that forms proximal part of sternum

151
Q

What is the jugular notch (suprasternal notch)?

A

on superior surface of manubrium

on either side has clavicular notch that articulates with clavicle

152
Q

On the manubrium, what is the articular surface on lateral margins for?

A

first costal cartilage

153
Q

What is the sternal angle?

A

important surface landmarks, presented as prominent transverse ridge that indicates site of articulation of second costal cartilage with sternum

154
Q

What forms the sternal angle?

A

manubrium of the sternum articulates with body of the sternum

155
Q

What is the sternal angle at the same level as?

A

intervertebral disc between TIV and TV vertebrae

156
Q

What is the body of the sternum?

A

slightly convex anteriorly

articular surfaces on either side for articulation with costal cartilages of ribs II - VII

157
Q

What is the xiphoid process?

A

variety of shapes

articulates with body of sternum to form xiphisternal joint

158
Q

What does the sides of xiphisternal joint articulate with?

A

7th costal cartilage
