Transverse Process and Spinous Process
transverse costal facets
There are two and the Transverse process is one of them. Can someone tell me what the other one is?
Thoracic vertebrae
The transverse process functions as the site of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine as well as the point of articulation of the ribs
Transverse is one still looking for the other answer
joint articulation (:
Articulating facets of the thoracic vertebra.Transverse process.
The articulation between the manubrium and the body of the sternum is a cartilaginous joint called the sternal angle, also known as the angle of Louis. It is an important landmark for counting ribs and locating structures in the chest.
The structure of the ribs, with their curved shape and articulation with the spine and sternum, helps to protect vital organs like the heart and lungs from external forces. The flexibility of the ribs allows for expansion of the chest cavity during breathing, facilitating the inhalation and exhalation of air.
articulation
A futtock is a curved timber which forms the ribs of a ship.
Unlike all other thoracic vertebrae, 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae lack articulation surfaces (for tubercle of ribs) on their transverse processes. The articulation facets (for head of rib) on the body of 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae are large.
