Sternum & costal cartilages form the anterior part of the thoracic cage.

True

Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the sternum and costal cartilages are indeed components of the anterior part of the thoracic cage. The sternum, also known as the breastbone, is a flat bone located in the middle of the chest. It connects to the ribs through the costal cartilages, which are flexible cartilage structures that allow for movement during breathing. Together, the sternum and costal cartilages provide support and protection to the organs within the thoracic cavity.Rate this question:

This includes the 1st rib, 2nd rib, 3rd rib, 4th rib, 5th rib, 6th rib, and 7th rib. These ribs are attached to the sternum by their own individual cartilages, forming a bony and cartilaginous structure that helps protect the organs in the thoracic cavity.Rate this question:

Head of the rib (Costa capitis) is @ the posterior end (vertebral end) of the rib.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The head of the rib, also known as the costa capitis, is located at the posterior end of the rib, specifically the vertebral end. This means that the head of the rib is closer to the spine rather than the front of the body. Therefore, the statement "Head of the rib (Costa capitis) is @ the posterior end (vertebral end) of the rib" is true.Rate this question:
