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

∙ 15y agoThe rib articulates with the spine posteriorly. It does so in two places, the main being called the facet for the head of the rib. This is actually betwen the two vertebrae spanning across the intervertebral disk. It also articulates with a part of the transverse process called the articular facet. This part is really only to stop the rib from being bent backwards by forming a physical block. Anteriorly, the ribs articulate with the sternocostal cartilages - the first 6 ribs have their own sternocostal cartilages, ribs 7-10 share a common cartilage and ribs 11 and 12 do not articulate with anything anteriorly. They are called "floating ribs."

What articular surfaces are unique to the thoracic vertebra?
The surface that articulates with the ribs which is simply called the the "Demi-Facet" for the head of the rib. There is also a part on the transverse process of the thoracic vertebrae which acts as a block to prevent the rib from moving posteriorly.
Where do ribs form a joint with the thoracic vertebrae?
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
Which bone's medial end articulates with the sternum and its lateral end articulates with the scapula?
The clavicle. This bone is normally not consideredto be part of the shoulder an instead a part of the thorax, which is also true. The reason it is part of the shoulder is that it joint part of the scapula to form the soked of the glenohumeral joint.
What bone is connected to your rib bones?
Vertebra in the back, sternum in the front.
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
What part of the sternum articulates with rib pairs 2-7?

What Is Under your Right Rib Cage?
The body part that is right under the right side of the rib cage is the right hip. The hip helps with walking and sitting and also protects organs that are lower in the body than the rib cage.
