On our lecture notes, we see that the jugular notch lines up with T2/T3. Also the angle of louis lines up with T4. The jugular notch is at the top of the manubrium, medial and superior rib 1. Also, the angle of louis is just superior to rib 2. In the dissector, it says that the number of the rib should correspond to the number of its attached thoracic vertebrae. How can we resolve this discrepancy?
