“…The regions enclosed by ribs 1–5 and 6–10 have previously employed by us based on vertebral geometry and for convenience (equivalent sets of landmarks) of morphometric analysis (Bastir et al, ), whilst the regions enclosed by ribs 1–6 and 7–10 have also been proposed to reflect the functional split between pulmonary and diaphragmatic divisions (Ward et al, , Kenyon et al, ). Regions enclosed by ribs 1–7 and 8–10 have been differentiated by other workers based on skeletal anatomical criteria distinguishing between true and false ribs and on the basis of their ontogenetic trajectories (Waldeyer and Mayet, ; White et al, ; García Martínez et al, ).…”

“…From a skeletal point of view, the ribs are conventionally classified into true ribs (1–7), false ribs (8–10), and floating ribs (11, 12) (Waldeyer and Mayet, ; Drake et al, ; White et al, ). Comparative ontogenetic study has also shown that growth trajectories of true ribs (1–7) are similar to each other, and differ from those of lower ribs (García‐Martínez et al, 2016a).…”

The human ribcage expands and contracts during respiration as a result of the interaction between the morphology of the ribs, the costo-vertebral articulations and respiratory muscles. Variations in these factors are said to produce differences in the kinematics of the upper thorax and the lower thorax, but the extent and nature of any such differences and their functional implications have not yet been quantified. Applying geometric morphometrics we measured 402 three-dimensional (3D) landmarks and semilandmarks of 3D models built from computed tomographic scans of thoraces of 20 healthy adult subjects in maximal forced inspiration (FI) and expiration (FE). We addressed the hypothesis that upper and lower parts of the ribcage differ in kinematics and compared different models of functional compartmentalization. During inspiration the thorax superior to the level of the sixth ribs undergoes antero-posterior expansion that differs significantly from the medio-lateral expansion characteristic of the thorax below this level. This supports previous suggestions for dividing the thorax into a pulmonary and diaphragmatic part. While both compartments differed significantly in mean size and shape during FE and FI the size changes in the lower compartment were significantly larger. Additionally, for the same degree of kinematic shape change, the pulmonary thorax changes less in size than the diaphragmatic thorax. Therefore, variations in the form and function of the diaphragmatic thorax will have a strong impact on respiratory function. This has important implications for interpreting differences in thorax shape in terms of respiratory functional differences within and among recent humans and fossil hominins.

“…Above the umbilicus, the linea is wide and thin; below the umbilicus, it is small and thick (Waldeyer, 1974), although this simplified description has not remained unquestioned (Hagentorn, 1902;Eiseler, 1912;Nahas, 2001).…”

The normal width of the linea alba in nulliparous women

Beer¹,

et al. 2009

The function of the linea alba is to maintain the abdominal muscles at a certain proximity to each other. In the case of long-lasting increased intra-abdominal pressure, the linea alba widens. Yet, as the existence of the linea a priori implicates a physiological distance between the two rectus muscles, the question arises as to what the normal width of the linea alba is. To evaluate the normal width of the linea alba, we examined 150 nulliparous women between 20 and 45 years of age with a body mass index < 30 kg m(-2) by ultrasound at three reference points: the origin at the xiphoid and 3 cm above and 2 cm below the umbilicus. The examination revealed a broad range of widths at the three reference points. The linea was widest at 3 cm above the umbilicus (-35 mm), followed by the reference point 2 cm below the umbilicus (-31 mm) and the origin at the xiphoid (-31 mm). The mean width was 7 +/- 5 mm at the xiphoid and 13 +/- 7 mm above and 8 +/- 6 mm below the umbilicus. For the definition of the normal width of the linea, the 10th and 90th percentiles were taken. The linea alba can be considered "normal" up to a width of 15 mm at the xiphoid, up to 22 mm at the reference point 3 cm above the umbilicus and up to 16 mm at the reference point 2 cm below the umbilicus in nulliparous women.

“…Analysis of the course of the iliolumbar ligament revealed a greater variability than that described in the literature [34,45], especially with regard to the width and proximal extent of the ligament complex [31]. However, a causal significance regarding clinically relevant root compression can be ruled out for the lower, lumbar nerve roots.…”
