THE HUMAN RIBS


A Rib from the middle of the series should be taken in order to study the common characters of the ribs.
Each rib presents two extremities, a posterior or vertebral, an anterior or ster­nal, and an intervening portion-the body or shaft.The posterior or vertebral extremity presents for examination a head, neck, and tuberosity. The head is marked by a kidney-shaped articular sur­face, divided by. a horizontal ridge into two facets for articulation with the costal cavity formed by the junction of the bodies of two contiguous dorsal vertebrse ; the upper facet i- small, the inferior one of larger size; the ridge separating them serves for the attachment of the interarticular ligament. The neck is that flat­tened portion of the rib which extends outward from the head; it is about an inch long, and is p aced in front of the transverse process of the lower of the two vertebrte with 'hieh the head articulates. Its anterior surface is flat and smooth, its posterior roueh f r the attachment of the middle costo-transverse ligament, and perforated b.' n merous foramina, the direction of which is less constant than those foun 1 on the inner surface of the shaft. Of its two borders the superior presents a rouzh ( - f r the attachment of the anterior costo-transverse ligament; its inferior b rd r '.; r unded. On the posterior surface of the neck, just where it joins the shaf an I rer the lower than the upper border, is an eminence-s-the tuberosity, or bere it consists of an articular and a non-articular portion.

THE FIFTH OR TRIFACIAL NERVE.

Emerging from the upper end of the valve of Vieussens. the nerve is directed outward across the superior peduncle of the cerebellum, and then winds forward round the outer side of the crus cerebri, immediately above the pons Varolii, pierces the dura mater in the free border of the tentorium cerebel1i. just behind, and external to, the posterior clinoid process, and passes forward in the outer wall of the cavernous sinus, between the third nerve and the ophthalmic division of the fifth. It crosses the third nerve and enters the orbit through the sphe¬noidal fissure. It now becomes the highest of all the nerves, lying at the inner extremity of the fissure internal to the frontal nerve. In the orbit it passes inward, above the origin of the Levator palpebrse, and finally enters the orbital surface of the Superior oblique muscle. In the outer wall of the cavernous sinus this nerve is not infrequently blended with the ophthalmic division of the fifth. Branches of Communication.-In th...

THE POPLITEAL ARTERY

THE ANASTOMOTICA accompanies the long saphenous nerve to the inner side of the thigh. It passes between the Sartorius and Gracilis muscles, and, piercing the fascia lata, is distrib¬uted to the integument of the upper and inner part of the leg, anastomosing with the inferior internal articular. The deep branch descends in the substance of the Vastus internus, lying in front of the tendon of the Adductor magnus, to the inner side of the knee, where it anastomoses with the superior internal articular artery and anterior recurrent branch of the anterior tibial. A branch from this vessel crosses outward above the articular surface of the femur, forming an anastomotic arch with the superior external articular artery, and supplies branches to the knee-joint. Popliteal Artery. The popliteal artery commences at the termination of the femoral at the opening in the Adductor magnus, and, passing obliquely downward and outward behind the knee-joint to the lower border of the Pop...
