These are called true ribs. They each have their own cartilage connection to the sternum.

What are the names of the five different types of vertebrae in the vertebral column?
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
Which type of vertebra has facets that articulate with the tubercle of the ribs?
The thoracic vertebra
Which part of the spine is the thoracic spine?
There are three parts of the spine, the cervical, thoracic and lumbar. Each vertebrae is listed by its number. For example the first 7 vertebrae (from the top) are listed as C1-C7 meaning C for cervical. The thoracic vertebrae starts after C7, the 8th vertebrae is T1-T12, so there is 12 individual vertebraes in the thoracic spine. After the thoracic, is the lumbar which have 5 individual vertebrae, L1-L5.
Why the body of the lumbar vertebra is larger than that of the thoracic vertebra and in the thoracic vertebra more than in the cervical vertebra?
The thoracic spine has twelve vertebral bodies. These structures have very little motion because they are firmly attached to the ribs and sternum (breastbone). Distinguished by the presence of coastal facets for the articulation of the heads of ribs. Body is intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae The lumbar spine has five vertebral bodies that extend from the lower thoracic spine (upper back) to the sacrum (bottom of the spine). The vertebral bodies of the lower back are the largest of the spine because they bear the majority of the body's weight. The paired facet joints on the back of the vertebral segments are aligned so that they allow flexion/extension but not a lot of rotation. Does not have coastal facets nor transverse process foramina
In adults why is bone marrow for biopsy taken from the sternum iliac crest or spinous processes of the vertebrae rather than other sites?

Are the first two vertebrae the only ones with names?
Vertebrae are categorized by where they are located. The top 7 are called cervical vertebrae (neck), the next 12 are thoracic vertebrae (chest), and the last 5 are lumbar vertebrae (back).
What are the different vertebrae in the back bone?
You have 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumber vertebrae, 1 sacrum and 1 coccyx. The first cervical vertebra is called as atlas vertebra. The second one is called as axis vertebra.

Where is spinal D8?
It refers to the eighth dorsal (thoracic) vertebra. In the human body there are seven cervical, twelve thoracic, five lumbar,five sacral and one coccygeal vertbrae. The are cartilaginous discs in between the adjacent vertebrae acting as shock absorbers. The nerve roots of the same number emerge below the respective vertebrae in the thoracic spine downwards. The first seven cervical nerve roots emerge above the respective vertebrae and the eighth cervical emerges between the C7 and T1.
What serves as a structural support for the whole thoracic arrangement?
a well i don't really know the answer so please help me!!!!! I'm so confused. why can't they just tell us the answer?? GEESE Sorry, Geese, Maybe they want you to dig it out of your text. Now, on to the initial question: The whole thoracic arrangement (of a human) would be supported by the thoracic vertebrae, and those, in turn by the lumbar vertebrae which rest on the pelvis, connected to the femurs and then to the tibiae and fibulae which pass the load through the tarsals and metatarsals into your shoe. So the ultimate answer would have to be "The floor that you are standing on." but, you may want to break out that text and see if "thoracic vertebrae" doesn't satisfy that question. That is the worng answer the answer is......It lets it diguests the thoracic first
What is the top most vertebra of your spine called?
There are 33 Vertebrae, starting from the top (just under skull) there are: 7 cervical vertebrae 12 thoracic vertebrae 5 lumbar vertebrae 5 sacral vertebrae (fused together) 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused together)
What part of the body is the spine?
Firstly, the spine is separated into three separate types of vertebrae: the first seven starting at the base of the skull are the cervical vertebrae (and the first specifically being the atlas and second the axis), the next twelve are the thoracic vertebrae, and the last five are the lumbar vertebrae. The spine ends with the large sacrum bone and then ends with the coccyx (tailbone). between these vertebrae are disks of hyaline cartilage. The vertebral column houses the spinal cord. The spinal cord branches out between each vertebrae with nerves that lead to different areas of the body.
How many vertebrae do horses have?
Fifty four (54) vertebrae for the typical horse. Cervical vertebrae: 7: the neck Thoracic vertebrae: 18 : the back, above rib cage Lumbar vertebrae: 6: the back, just above and forward of rear hip bones Sacral vertebrae (5 fused together - sacrum): just above and behind rear hip bones Coccygeal vertebrae (average 18): the tail source: http://www.kersur.net/~santa/skeletalsystem.html source: http://www.allabouthorses.com/horse-health/injuries/horse-anatomy.html
