Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The anterior axillary line (AAL) is a line drawn parallel to the sternal line. There are right and left anterior axillary lines. The lines begin at the anterior fold of the axillae and descend along the anterior lateral aspects of the thoracic cage to the twelfth rib.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The 12 pairs of ribs circle the body, form the lateral aspects of the thorax, and are attached to the vertebrae and sternum. Anteriorly, the first seven pairs of ribs articulate directly to the sternum. The cartilage of ribs 8, 9, and 10 articulates with the cartilage of rib 7, whereas the pairs of 11 and 12 are free floating and do not articulate anteriorly.
