The costal margin is the medial margin formed by the cartilages of the seventh to tenth ribs. It attaches to the body and xiphoid process of the sternum. [2] The thoracic diaphragm attaches to the costal margin. [3] The costal angle is the angle between the left and right costal margins where they join the sternum. [2]
Parthenos sylvia, the clipper, [2] [3] is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in south and southeast Asia, mostly in forested areas. [2] [3] The clipper is a fast-flying butterfly and has a habit of flying with its wings flapping stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal.
In old age, the costal cartilages are prone to superficial ossification, particularly in women with age of 50 years and over. [3] In costochondritis and Tietze syndrome, inflammation of the costal cartilage occurs. [4] This is a common cause of chest pain. [5] Severe trauma may lead to fracture of the costal cartilage. [6]
Costal may refer to: an adjective related to the rib (Latin: costa) in anatomy Costal cartilage, a type of cartilage forming bars which serve to prolong the ribs forward; Costal margin, the medial margin formed by the false ribs; Costal surface (disambiguation) Costal groove, a groove between the ridge of the internal surface of the rib
It is a crescent-shaped space, encompassed by the lower edge of the left lung, the anterior border of the spleen, the left costal margin and the inferior margin of the left lobe of the liver. Thus, its surface markings are respectively the left sixth rib superiorly, the left mid axillary line laterally, and the left costal margin inferiorly.
The media vein has 5 branches with the first branch being forked. In a few species, the 2 sub branches of the first media branch fork again so that a total of 4 sub branches reach the wing margin. The base of the costal margin is not extended like in the genus Peggia and the hind margin is not undulate like in the genus Losbanosia. [8] [6] [9]
The vein forming the boundary of the cell along the costal margin is known as the subcostal vein q.v. The vein forming the lower boundary towards the dorsum is called the median vein. In the case of butterflies, the cell is closed by a vein connecting the origins of veins 6 to 4 along the top of the cell which is known as discocellular vein ...
Hindwing uniform; the costal margin broadly as noted above, a subterminal narrow band and narrower terminal line posteriorly, dusky black; a postdiscal black spot in interspaces 2 and 5 respectively; the cilia fulvous. [6] Doleschallia bisaltide malabarica, female Underside very variable, closely resembling a dry leaf. No two specimens are ever ...
