REGIONS OF THE ANTERIOR SURFACE. The supraclavicular and the suprasternal regions,limited above by the superior boundary of the anteriorsurface, are defined by their names, as are the clavicular Fig. 1. Supra-Sternal. Regions of the anterior surface of the chest. and the sternal regions, the latter being subdivided intoupper sternal and lower sternal regions by a line drawnhorizontally through the upper border of the third costalcartilage. TOPOGRAPHICAL AND RELATIONAL ANATOMY. 19 The infraclavicular region, limited above by the lowerborder of the clavicle, internally by the edge of thesternum, and externally by the lateral boundary of theanterior surface, is bounded below by a line drawnhorizontally through the upper border of the third costal cartilage. The mammary region extends from the lower limitof the infraclavicular region to the upper border of thesixth rib. (The lower border of the sixth rib is givenby some writers as its inferior boundary.) Internallyand laterally it is bounded by continuation downwardof the lines that form the internal and lateral boundariesof the infrac
