the bottom 2 do not connect to anything, the rest join at the sternum or breastbone
The body surface
sternum
thoracic vertebrae :)
All ribs articulate posteriorly with their corresponding vertebrae.
They are atached to your spine and they make a cage around your organe-to protect them & cover them.
The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae. The thoracic vertebrae also articulate with each other.
The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae.
thoracic vertebrae
the heart is near the liver and the lungs......... please if you know the answers to questions answer them...... people need them........the heart is laterally to the lungs (Superiorly to the heart is the thoracic inlet, inferiorly is the diaphragm, anteriorly is the sternum, and posteriorly the spinal column.)
The inferior costal facet and superior costal facet are the points on the thoracic vertebrae at which the ribs articulate.
thoracic curvature and lumbar curvature
The facets on the body articulate with next vertebra, while those on the transverse process articulate with the heads of ribs.
You have the convex anteriorly curve of cervical vertebrae. You have the concave anteriorly curve of thoracic vertebrae. Again you have the convex anteriorly curve of lumber vertebrae. The sacrum goes steep backward from the last lumber vertebra. Here no curve is described probably. So you have lardosis of cervical and lumber vertebrae. You have kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae.
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
