Thoracic vertebrae can be distinguished from other vertebrae by the presence of costal facets, which are specific surfaces for the articulation with ribs. These facets allow for the attachment of the ribs, contributing to the ribcage's structural integrity. Additionally, thoracic vertebrae have a more prominent spinous process and are typically larger than cervical vertebrae but smaller than lumbar vertebrae.
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
Twelve thoracic vertebrae, same as you have.
The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae. The thoracic vertebrae also articulate with each other.
Thoracic vertebrae are attached to a pair of ribs
Vertebrae are divided into sections: the atlas and axis account for the first cervical vertebrae, of which there are 7 in total; there are 12 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum (5 separate vertebrae in a baby), and 1 coccyx (4 separate vertebrae in a baby).
The body or centrum of the thoracic vertebrae are heart shaped. There are twelve thoracic vertebrae in humans and they are located in the chest.
That would be the thoracic vertebrae. (. . . of the thorax), and there are 12 of them - T1 through T12.
12 vertebrae have ribs attatched
The thoracic vertebrae, of which there are 12.
The thoracic vertebrae are found in the chest region of the body. Humans have twelve thoracic vertebrae which are located between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae.
