What do all ribs articulate posteriorly with?

thoracic vertebrae :)


The ribs are attached posteriorly to the what?

The ribs are attached posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae of the spine through their articulation with the costal facets located on the bodies and transverse processes of the vertebrae. This connection allows for rib movement during breathing and provides structural support for the rib cage.


Ribs are attached anteriorly to?

They are atached to your spine and they make a cage around your organe-to protect them & cover them.


What are The parts of the thoracic vertebrae that articulate with the ribs are?

The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae. The thoracic vertebrae also articulate with each other.


What flat bones articulate with the thoracic vertebrae?

The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae.


What are the articulates with rib posteriorly?

thoracic vertebrae


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 organs are near the heart?

the heart is near the liver and the lungs......... please if you know the answers to questions answer them...... people need them........the heart is laterally to the lungs (Superiorly to the heart is the thoracic inlet, inferiorly is the diaphragm, anteriorly is the sternum, and posteriorly the spinal column.)


What sections of vertebral column curve posteriorly?

thoracic curvature and lumbar curvature


What is a primary curvature?

Primary curvature refers to the curvature of the spine in the sagittal plane, specifically in the thoracic and sacral regions. The primary curvatures are kyphotic, meaning they curve outward, with the thoracic spine curving posteriorly and the sacral spine curving anteriorly. These primary curvatures are present at birth and help to maintain balance and support the weight of the body.


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.


How many curvature does vertebral column have?

You have the convex anteriorly curve of cervical vertebrae. You have the concave anteriorly curve of thoracic vertebrae. Again you have the convex anteriorly curve of lumber vertebrae. The sacrum goes steep backward from the last lumber vertebra. Here no curve is described probably. So you have lardosis of cervical and lumber vertebrae. You have kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae.
