summary of the video with the time for reference:

1. FUNCTION
- THORAX PROTECTS THE HEART, LUNGS AND VISCERA
- PROVIDES A BASE FOR MUSCLE ATTACHMENTS TO UPPER EXTREMITY
- THORAX/ CHEST WALL HELPS IN VENTILATION

2. COMPONENTS
-STERNUM - MANUBRIUM, BODY, XIPHOID PROCESS
- RIBS
- VERTEBRA

3. STERNUM
- MANUBRIUM
-BODY
-XIPHOID PROCESS

4. RIBS
- TRUE RIBS - RIBS 1 TO 7 DIRECTLY ARTICULATE WITH THE STERNUM THROUGH COSTOCARTILAGENOUS ARTICULATION
- FALSE RIBS - RIBS 8 TO 10 INDIRECTLY ARTICULATE THROUGH SUPERIOR RIBS
- FLOATING RIBS - RIB 11, 12 NO ATTACHMENT WITH STERNUM


5. VERTEBRAE
- 12 THORACIC VERTEBRAE
- 6 COASTAL ARTICULATING SURFACES
- 2 ON TRANSVERSE PROCESS
- COASTAL FACET/ DEMIFACET
