Thoracic
These facets are associated with ribs which involve the thoracic vertebrae.
The two lateral processes in a vertebrae are called transverse processes. Their main function is to provide attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the spine.
Inside vertebrae, there is a central canal known as the vertebral foramen, which houses the spinal cord and its protective membranes. Surrounding the canal are the bony structures of the vertebrae, including the body, arch, and various processes. Additionally, the intervertebral discs, composed of cartilage, are located between adjacent vertebrae, providing cushioning and facilitating movement. The vertebrae also contain bone marrow, which is involved in blood cell production.
The T3 vertebra is located in the thoracic region of the spine, specifically between the T2 and T4 vertebrae. It is one of the twelve vertebrae in the thoracic spine and is positioned below the T2 vertebra and above the T4 vertebra.
The L2-L3 vertebrae are located in the lower back, specifically in the lumbar region. They are the second and third vertebrae from the top of the lumbar spine, just below the L1-L2 vertebrae and above the L3-L4 vertebrae.
These facets are associated with ribs which involve the 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.
Thoracic vertebrae are located in the chest.
The dens is located on the cerival vertebrae on C2, which is the second vertebrae on the cervial vertebrae.
You have such facets on thoracic vertebrae. They are there to hold the ribs.
those are the vertebrae in the area of your neck.
The vertebrae consist of the vertebral body, spinous process, transverse process, and articular processes. There are 33 vertebrae in total, including 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (fused into the sacrum), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (fused into the coccyx).
The two lateral processes in a vertebrae are called transverse processes. Their main function is to provide attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help stabilize and move the spine.
There are a total of 33 vertebrae in the vertebral column, if assuming 4 coccygeal vertebrae.The individual vertebrae, named according to region and position, from superior to inferior, are:Cervical: 7 vertebrae (C1-C7) C1 is known as "atlas" and supports the head, C2 is known as "axis"Possesses bifid spinous processes, which is absent in C1 and C7Small-bodiedThoracic: 12 vertebrae (T1-T12) Distinguished by the presence of coastal facets for the articulation of the heads of ribsBody is intermediate in size between the cervical and lumbar vertebraeLumbar: 5 vertebrae (L1-L5) Has a large bodyDoes not have coastal facets nor transverse process foraminaSacral: 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1-S5)Coccygeal: 4 (3-5) (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)
Your "vertebrae" is any of the segments of bone that make up the spine; therefore your vertebrae is located with your spine.
The vertebrae located in the lower back are known as the lumbar vertebrae. They are the five largest and strongest vertebrae in the spinal column, situated below the thoracic vertebrae and above the sacrum. The lumbar vertebrae support the majority of the body's weight and are responsible for the flexibility and movement of the lower back.
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.
