The thoracic vertebra
What else can I help you with?
What bones articulate with thoracic facets and demifacets?
The thoracic facets and demifacets articulate with the ribs, which form joints known as costovertebral joints. The facets on the thoracic vertebrae articulate with the heads of the ribs, while the demifacets articulate with the necks of the ribs.
What are the two locations on a thoracic vertebra where the ribs articulate?
The two locations on a thoracic vertebra where the ribs articulate are the costal facets on the sides of the vertebral body and the transverse costal facets on the transverse processes. These articulations form the joints that connect the ribs to the thoracic vertebrae.
Articular facets on the transverse processes are characteristics of vertebrae?
Yes, articular facets are small joints found on the transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae which articulate with the ribs. They contribute to the stability and articulation of the vertebral column, allowing for movements such as rotation and lateral flexion.
Bear facets for articulation with ribs form part of bony thoracic cage?
The facets on the transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae articulate with the tubercles of the ribs to form joints called costovertebral joints, which enable movement of the ribs during respiration. These articulations play a crucial role in the mechanics of breathing and provide structural support to the thoracic cage.
What part of the rib articulates with the body of the vertebra?
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.

What part of the rib articulates with the body of the vertebra?
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
What does the vertebral column articulate with?
It articulates with each vertebra. Plus the occipital bone of the skull and the 12 pairs of ribs.
How many ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae and how many with the sternum?
There are 12 pairs of ribs that articulate with the thoracic vertebrae, one per vertebra. The upper 7 pairs of ribs articulate directly with the sternum, either via their own costal cartilage or the cartilage of the rib above. Ribs 8-10 articulate indirectly with the sternum through a shared cartilage, while ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs that do not connect to the sternum.
Where do ribs form a joint with the thoracic vertebrae?
headThe pedicle of the rib articulates with the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.
Why is there no transverse coastal facets on the last two thoracic vertebrae?
The simplest answer is because the 11th and 12th ribs (the last two) don't articulate with the transverse process of their corresponding vertebrae. Thus, transverse coastal facets are not needed.
Do all ribs directly or indirectly articulate with the sternum?
No, not all ribs directly articulate with the sternum. Ribs 1 to 7 directly articulate with the sternum, while ribs 8 to 10 indirectly articulate with the sternum through the costal cartilages of the ribs above them. Ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs that do not articulate with the sternum at all.
What flat bones articulate with the thoracic vertebrae?
The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae.
Are ribs connected to the lungs?
no. I can't write English very well, but i know for sure the ribs aren't connected with the lungs.
