At what point does the trachea branch into the right and left bronchi?

The trachea is the structure through which air is transported to the bronchi and the lungs. Its superior border is the cricoid cartilage at the 6th cervical vertebra, and it ends with its bifurcation into the right and left main bronchi at the level of the sternal angle. The trachea is on average 9cm to 15cm long and is lined by hyaline cartilage that hold its shape.

The 8th, 9th, and 10th ribs are false ribs in that they do not articulate directly with the sternum, but with a cartilage which articulates with the sternum. The first seven ribs are true ribs, in that they articulate with the sternum at the readily observable costal (rib) notches. The 11th and 12th ribs are floating ribs, in that they do not connect at all to the sternum.

On which bone is the deltoid tuberosity?
On which bone is the deltoid tuberosity?
Tap to see back →
The deltoid is a muscle on the lateral portion of the upper arm. The humerus is the bone on the upper arm and the deltoid attaches to the humerus. The radius and ulna is located on the lower portion of the arm. The clavicle is in the upper chest, also known as the collarbone. The scapula is the shoulder blade and the deltoid does not attach to it.

Which of the following muscles will be stretched most effectively by right rotation of the head and neck?
Which of the following muscles will be stretched most effectively by right rotation of the head and neck?
Tap to see back →
The splenius capitus muscle will be stretched most effectively by rotation of the head and neck. The splenius capitus is a broad, strap like muscle found at the posterior neck. It attaches at the base of the skull and inserts at the vertebrae of the cervical and upper thoracic spine. It is involved in head extension, in addition to lateral flexion and rotation of the cervical spine.

The linea aspera, gluteal tuberosity, and adductor tubercle are all landmarks found on the femur. The linea aspera is an attachment site for the adductor muscle group and the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis. A portion of the gluteus maximus attaches to the gluteal tuberosity. The adductor magnus attaches to the adductor tubercle. The soleal line is part of the tibia and serves as an attachment site for the soleus muscle.

The parietal bones (one on each side of the skull) form a shield-shaped dome across the top of the skull, creating most of the bulging sides and top of the cranium. The parietal bones are useful in distinguishing the skulls of modern man from Australopithecine ancestors. The bone has a large opening, the parietal foramen, through which blood supply and nerves enter.

The occipital bone forms the base of the skull, and contains the opening (foramen magnum) through which the thick nerve fibers that will form the spinal cord emerge. It houses the occipital lobe of the cerebrum, which is responsible for visual processing and holds the visual cortex.
