processes each bearing on its upper edge
a high rounded immured lobe - between these
lobes is a deep, horseshoe shaped opening.
The sternum articulates to its distal ends
of its first pair of ribs - the ends of their
fit cut to the angles formed by the lower
sides of the transverse processes and
the ventral spin or process. The end of the
rib is 50 mil. from the side of the central
process - due to the sternum and the upper
side of its distal end of the rib is 20 mil. from
the lower edge of the transverse processes.
(Their measurements were taken shortly
after the whole was rib was taken apart
of the whole) The rib is tipped with carti-
ilage, but articulation to the sternum
is by ligaments & not by cartilage as in
the Hemipack.
sternum greatest breadth = 550 mil.
" " height = 490 "
The first rib is flat for its entire length
& strongly curved having a single pointed
head, a long slender neck, & a tubercle - rib is widest at its distal end
Rib Length straight (tubercle to end) = 983 mil.
Curved
(circ.)
= 11/4 mil.
Breadth at distal end (greatest): 150 "
Scapula The acromion & coracoid project
almost straight anterad
Height (q. fossa to edge) = 650 mil.
Length acromion from
edge] = 260 mil.
Breadth
" " glenoid fossa = 1/10 "
= 220 "
Length coracoid: 160
