There is no inferior process on any vertebrae, thoracic or not. There is an inferior articular facet. The inferior articular facet would articulate with the superior articular facet of the vertebrae just superior to it.
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
The inferior costal facet and superior costal facet are the points on the thoracic vertebrae at which the ribs articulate.
Cervical (most superior portion of the vertebral column) = 7 vertebraeThoracic (just inferior to the cervical region, superior to lumbar) = 12 vertebraeLumbar (inferior to the thoracic region, superior to the sacral region) = 5 vertebrae
the strnum, 12 pairs of ribs, and 12 thoracic vertebrae.

Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral
The inferior costal facet and superior costal facet are the points on the thoracic vertebrae at which the ribs articulate.
Yes the heart is medial to the thoracic vertebrae, and superior to the diaphragm

Thoracic cavity indicates your chest , the Abdominal cavity indicates your abdomen INFERIOR means under .Your chest is above your abdomen hence the thoracic cavity is SUPERIOR to the Abdominopelvic cavity.
The diaphragm.
The thoracic vertebrae, of which there are 12.
Backwards... The diaphragm is superior to the stomach
