How are thoracic vertebrae 11 and 12 different from all the other thoracic vertebrae?
DwainePrendergast
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.
The ribs are attached posteriorly to the what?
All ribs articulate posteriorly with their corresponding vertebrae.
Articular facets on the transverse processes are characteristics of vertebrae?
The Thoracic Vertebrae have such features and are in the correct position to articulate with the ribs correctly (the cervical vertebra are too high to touch the ribs in the neck region, and the lumbar, sacral and coccyx are all too low to intersect the ribs!)Thoracic Vertebrae
Where do ribs form a joint with the thoracic vertebrae?
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
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.
2 The Thoracic vertebrae is inferior to the lumbar vertebrae?

What bones are attached to the thoracic vertebrae?
All ribs are attached in the back to the thoracic vertebrae.
What do all ribs articulate posteriorly with?
thoracic vertebrae :)
How many articular surface are on each vertebrae?
The thoracic vertebrae have 6 and all the others have 4.
All of the ribs join with what part of the spine?
thoracic vertebrae
How many bones are in the thoracic?
there are 12 bones in the thoracic column.

Is your vertebrae movable?
Almost all the joints between vertebrae are movable. The joints between the cervical vertebrae and lumber vertebrae have fairly good movement. Between thoracic vertebrae only you have less movement. But then they do move on each other.
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
