2023年10月30日 · Vertebrae T1, T10, T11, and T12 have complete costal facets on the bodies for ribs 1 and 10-12, which articulate on the vertebral bodies instead of between vertebrae. On the other hand, vertebrae T11 and T12 have no transverse costal facets.

2024年7月16日 · The articulations between the vertebrae and the ribs are unique to the thoracic spine. For each rib, there are two separate articulations – costovertebral and costotransverse. Each costovertebral joint consists of the head of the rib articulating with: Superior costal facet of the corresponding vertebra; Inferior costal facet of the superior ...

2023年11月3日 · The costocorporeal joints connect the concave costal facets of the thoracic vertebra and the convex articular facets found on the heads of all ribs; Vertebrae T1-T10 have two costal facets; a superior one and an inferior one.

2023年8月1日 · The primary characteristic of the thoracic vertebrae is the presence of costal facets. There are six facets per thoracic vertebrae: two on the transverse processes and four demifacets—the facets of the transverse processes articulate with the tubercle of …

A costal facet is a site of connection between a rib and a vertebra. The costal facets are located on the vertebrae that the rib articulates with. They are the superior costal facet, the inferior costal facet, and the transverse costal facet. [1] Rib 1 only articulates with a transverse costal facet.

The costotransverse joint is an articulation between the articular costal tubercle of the rib and the costal facet of the transverse process of a thoracic vertebra. [5] .

The costovertebral joints describe two groups of synovial plane joints which connect the proximal end of the ribs with their corresponding thoracic vertebrae, enclosing the thoracic cage from the posterior side.

2023年4月12日 · Superior costal facet or superior costal fovea (fovea costalis superior) is a depression on the superiolateral surface of the vertebral body, posterior to the pedicle. The superior costal facet is a demifacet or partial facet.

2023年8月1日 · The primary characteristic of the thoracic vertebrae is the presence of costal facets. There are six facets per thoracic vertebrae: two on the transverse processes and four demifacets—the facets of the transverse processes articulate with the tubercle of …

2020年10月11日 · The superior demifacet of a thoracic vertebra articulates with the corresponding rib (costovertebral joint). This rib articulates again with the costal facet on the transverse process (costotransverse joint).
