| costal | <anatomy> Pertaining to the ribs. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| costal angle | The rather abrupt change in curvature of the body of a rib posteriorly, such that the neck and head of the rib are directed upward. Synonym: angulus costae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal arch | That portion of the inferior aperture of the thorax formed by the articulated cartilages of the seventh to tenth (false) ribs. Synonym: arcus costalis, arcus costarum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal arch reflex | Contraction of the rectus abdominis muscle by tapping the costal margin inside the mammary line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal cartilage | The cartilage forming the anterior continuation of a rib, providing the means by which it reaches and articulates with the sternum. Synonym: cartilago costalis, costicartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal chondritis | <pathology> A condition that is caused by inflammation of the costochondral joints. This is perceived as chest pain with tenderness to one or both sides of the sternum (breast bone). Chest pains are often worse when taking a deep breath or moving the chest wall. Treatment includes warm, wet compresses to the anterior chest wall and oral anti-inflammatory agents. (27 Sep 1997) |
| costal facets | Articular surface on a vertebra for articulation with a rib. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal fringe | An irregularly disposed collection of visible veins seen in the skin of people usually of or past middle age; it has no specific connection with any deep structure, such as the diaphragm, and no necessary connection with underlying visceral disease. Synonym: zona corona. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal groove | A groove in the lower inner border of the rib, lodging the intercostal vessels and nerve. Synonym: sulcus costae, subcostal groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal groove for subclavian artery | <anatomy, artery> A groove immediately posterior to the scalene tubercle on the upper surface of the first rib across which the subclavian artery passes. Synonym: sulcus costae arteriae subclaviae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal margin | The lower edge of the chest (thorax) formed by the bottom edge of the rib cage. (12 Dec 1998) |
| costal notch | One of the notches or facets on the lateral edge of the sternum for articulation with a costal cartilage. Synonym: incisura costalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal part of diaphragm | The part of the diaphragm that arises from the inner aspect of the lower six costal cartilages and the lower four ribs and inserts on the anterolateral part of the central tendon. Synonym: pars costalis diaphragmatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal pit of transverse process | A facet on the transverse process of a vertebra for articulation with the tubercle of a rib. Synonym: fovea costalis processus transversi, costal pit of transverse process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| costal pleura | The layer of parietal pleura lining the chest walls. Synonym: pleura costalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral part of the costal surface of the lungs | The part of the medial surface of the lung in contact with the vertebral bodies. Synonym: pars vertebralis faciei costalis pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| primitive costal arches | Arch's formed in the thoracic region of the vertebral column in the embryo from the costal processes or costal elements which give rise to the ribs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior costal facet | A demifacet on the upper edge of the body of a vertebra articulating with the head of a rib; a single rib articulates with the inferior costal facet and superior costal facet of the adjacent vertebrae. Synonym: fovea costalis superior, superior costal pit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior costal pit | A demifacet on the upper edge of the body of a vertebra articulating with the head of a rib; a single rib articulates with the inferior costal facet and superior costal facet of the adjacent vertebrae. Synonym: fovea costalis superior, superior costal pit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior costal facet | Demifacet on the lower edge of the body of a vertebra articulating with the head of a rib. Synonym: fovea costalis inferior, inferior costal pit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior costal pit | Demifacet on the lower edge of the body of a vertebra articulating with the head of a rib. Synonym: fovea costalis inferior, inferior costal pit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intra-articular ligament of costal head | Transverse fibres extending within the capsule from the ridge between the two facets on the head of the rib to the intervertebral disk. Synonym: ligamentum capitis costae intra-articulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse costal facet | A facet on the transverse process of a vertebra for articulation with the tubercle of a rib. Synonym: fovea costalis processus transversi, costal pit of transverse process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral costal branch of internal thoracic artery | <anatomy, artery> A variable branch of internal thoracic artery that runs lateral and parallel to the internal thoracic artery on the deep surface of the rib cage; anastomosis: posterior intercostal arteries. Synonym: ramus costalis lateralis arteriae thoracicae internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
