AJCC Classification: Cervical (15-18 cm),
upper Thoracic (18-24 cm), mid Thoracic
(24-32), Lower Thoracic (32-40)
5. • Thorax- Lines of Orientation
Midsternal Line- Lies in the Median Plane
over the sternum
Midclavicular Line- Runs vertically
downward from the midpoint of the clavicle
Anterior Axillary Line- Runs vertically
downwards from the anterior axillary fold
Posterior Axillary Line- Runs Vertically
downwards from the posterior axillary fold
6. • Midaxillary Line- Runs vertically downward
from a point situated midway between the
anterior and posterior folds
• Scapular Line- Runs vertically downward
on the posterior wall of the thorax, passing
through the inferior angle of the scapula
(arms at sides)
7. • Nipple (in males)-lies in the 4th intercostal
space about 10 cm from midline.
• Apex Beat- in 5th intercostal space 9cm
from midline (just below and medial to the
nipple). Marks the lowest and outermost
point at which the cardiac impulse can be
palpated.
8. • Transpyloric Plane (of Addison)- Lies halfway
between the suprasternal notch and pubis, or
approx one hands breadth below the xiphoid (L1
Level)
passes through the Pylorus, the pancreatic neck,
the duodenojejunal flexure, the fundus of the gall
bladder, the tip of the 9th costal cartilage, and hila
of the kidneys.
Also corresponds to the level of termination of
the Spinal Cord.
9. • Subcostal Plane- L3
Line joining the lowest point of the thoracic
cage on each side (inferior margin of the
10th rib).- passes through the origin of the
inferior mesenteric artery.
• Plane of the Iliac Crests- L4
Corresponds to the level of the Aortic
bifurcation. Useful landmark in performing
LP.
13. The Anterior Region of the Neck
• Has several palpable landmarks, including the larynx, trachea, and
sternal notch.
• The larynx.
– found in the middle of the neck
– composed of multiple cartilages
– thyroid cartilage
• “Adam’s apple”
• Inferior to the larynx are the cricoid cartilage and trachea.
• Terminates at the sternal (jugular) notch of the manubrium and the
left and right clavicles.
14. The Nuchal Region
• The posterior neck region.
• Houses the spinal cord, cervical vertebrae, and associated
structures.
• The bump at the lower boundary of this region is the vertebra
prominens.
• Superiorly along the midline of the neck, is the ligamentum nuchae,
a thick ligament that runs from C7 to the nuchal lines of the skull.
15. Left and Right Lateral Portions of
the Neck
• Contain the sternocleidomastoid muscles which partitions the neck
into two clinically important triangles, an anterior triangle and a
posterior triangle.
• Each triangle houses important structures that run through the neck.
• Triangles are further subdivided into smaller triangles.
• Anterior triangle lies anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and
inferior to the mandible.
– subdivided into four smaller triangles
• the submental, submandibular, carotid, and muscular
triangles
16. The Posterior Triangle
• Lateral region of the neck.
• Posterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
• Superior to the clavicle inferiorly.
• Anterior to the trapezius muscle.
• Subdivided into two smaller triangles.
– the occipital triangle
– supraclavicular triangle
17. Position of Nodes
1. Submental
2. Submandibular
3. Parotid / tonsilar
4. Preauricular
5. Postauricular
6. Occipital
7. Anterior cervical superficial
and deep
8. Supraclavicular
9. Posterior cervical
22. Gluteal Region
• The inferior border of the gluteus maximus
muscle forms the gluteal fold.
• The gluteal (natal) cleft extends vertically to
separate the buttocks into two prominences.
• In the inferior portion of each buttock, an ischial
tuberosity can be palpated; these tuberosities
support body weight while seated.
• The gluteus maximus muscle forms most of the
inferolateral “fleshy” part of the buttock.
• The gluteus medius muscle may be palpated
only in the superolateral portion of each buttock.
23. The Thigh
• Many muscular and bony features are readily identified
in the thigh, which extends between the hip and the knee
on each lower limb.
• An extremely important element of thigh surface
anatomy is a region called the femoral triangle.
• The femoral triangle is a depression inferior to the
groove that overlies the inguinal ligament on the
anteromedial surface in the superior portion of the thigh.
• The femoral artery, vein, and nerve travel through this
region, making it an important arterial pressure point for
controlling lower limb hemorrhage.
24. Thigh and Knee
• On the distal part of the anterior thigh, are the
three parts of the quadriceps femoris as they
approach the knee.
• Still on the anterior side of the thigh, three
obvious skeletal features can be observed and
palpated:
– (1) The greater trochanter is palpated on the superior
lateral surface of the thigh;
– (2) the patella is located easily within the patellar
tendon; and
– (3) the lateral and medial condyles of both the femur
and tibia are identified and palpated at each knee.

Editor's Notes
— Neck as seen from left anterior view. Drawing shows specific margins of anatomy seen in A that relate to definitions of classification levels. Note that line of separation between levels I and II is posterior margin of submandibular gland. Separation between levels II and III and IV is posterior edge of sternocleidomastoid muscle. Line of separation between levels IV and V is oblique line extending from posterior edge of sternocleidomastoid muscle to posterior edge of anterior scalene muscle. Posterior edge of internal jugular vein separates level IIA and IIB nodes. Carotid arteries separate levels III and IV from level VI. Top of manubrium separates levels VI and VII.
