Intertubercular Plane

Intertubercular planes: topographic relationships

The interbrear plane divides the skull into anterior and posterior sections. The posterior sections of the brain are separated from the anterior section by the tamasoya, the intergroscular plane.

The anterior view is separated between the sphenoid processes and the foramen magnum. The ascending pharyngeal artery passes through this opening, connecting the anterior cranial fossa of the anterior cerebral fossa with the cranial cavity

The intercostal plane, or intercostal space, is the name given to the plane along the upper edge of the chest. As a rule, it runs along the lower edge of the sixth ribs from the back and the seventh ribs from the front of the chest and is clearly visible under the skin without difficulty. The intercostal spaces are separated from each other by clearly defined ridges extending from the ribs and leading to the spine. The interribs are connected to each other in the upper part by costoclavicular joints (and here there are only two of them). At the root of each rib there is also costal cartilage.

The location in the intercostal plane where the ribs are closest to the spine is the costovertebral junction or bushshape. The vastus dorsi and splenius muscles of the neck are attached to it. This connection can be damaged when rotating on the side of the neck or when lifting heavy objects with a crooked spine when the muscle decides to pull the neck under the shoulder. Most often, there is a blow to the area where the damage is located, then pain appears. Clinically diagnosed by comparing the midline between the vertebrae in the cervical-upper back by muscle impulses and muscle tension. Therapy involves stretching the neck and shoulder blade muscles to relieve tension and inflammation.
