The ribs attached to 11 and 12 do not connect to anything in the front of the body. They are said to be, "Floating".

2 The Thoracic vertebrae is inferior to the lumbar vertebrae?

the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.


How many bones are in the thoracic?

there are 12 bones in the thoracic column.


How many thoracic vertebrae are in the vertebral column?

There are a pair of 12 of thoracic vertebrae in the human body. Some variations exist, as in all of nature, but that is most commonly agreed upon number. The vertebrae of the spine are divided into sections (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and the coccyx). The thoracic 3 and 4 vertebrae control much of the upper back kyphotic curve. There are special areas called dermatomes in our bodies where our spinal nerves can affect certain areas associated with them; skin, muscles, joints, and organs. There are 12 thoracic vertebra in human skleletalTwelve.The adult body has 7 cervical vertebra, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae. It can be remembered as: breakfast at 7am, lunch at 12noon, and dinner at 5pm.There are 12 thoracic vertebrae.12, they are labeled T1 to T12


The ribs are attached posteriorly to the what?

The ribs are attached posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae of the spine through their articulation with the costal facets located on the bodies and transverse processes of the vertebrae. This connection allows for rib movement during breathing and provides structural support for the rib cage.


Articular facets on the transverse processes are characteristics of vertebrae?

Yes, articular facets are small joints found on the transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae which articulate with the ribs. They contribute to the stability and articulation of the vertebral column, allowing for movements such as rotation and lateral flexion.

How are thoracic 11 and 12 different from the other vertebrae?

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.

Are the first two vertebrae the only ones with names?

No, all of the vertebrae in the spine have names. In addition to the first two vertebrae (C1 and C2), the other vertebrae are named based on their location: cervical (C3-C7), thoracic (T1-T12), lumbar (L1-L5), sacral (S1-S5), and coccygeal (Co1-Co4).

Where do ribs form a joint with the thoracic vertebrae?

headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.


What is the vervical vertebrae?

You mean the cervical vertebrae. ( C and v are close enough on the key board!) You have the 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck region. They are small in size. They all have foramen transversarium in them. They do not have the markings of the ribs on the body, like the thoracic vertebrae.
