The facets on the body articulate with next vertebra, while those on the transverse process articulate with the heads of ribs.
yes
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
No, doesn't articulate with any facial bones; only articulates with temporal bones of cranium.

there are 12 bones in the thoracic column.
The lungs are surrounded by the bones of the thoracic cage. The thoracic cage consists of the following bones:12 pairs of rib12 thoracic vertebrasternum

The carpals articulate distally with the ulna. The carpals are also known as the wrist bones.

There are twelve different bones that known as thoratic vertabrae.
All ribs are attached in the back to the thoracic vertebrae.
"Metacarpal" refers to a set of bones in your hands. It is the term for the bones that make up your knuckles. Known collectively as the metacarpus, the bones run from the base of the wrist, where they articulate with the carpals (wrist bones), to the base of each finger, where they articulate with the phalanges (finger bones).
