Body of thoracic vertebra cranial view It is important to note that the superior and inferior facets are named relative to their position on the vertebral body and not for which part of the articular they provide for the rib.
The costal facets are also slightly different between the vertebrae. Vertebrae T1 T10 T11 and T12 have complete costal facets on the bodies for ribs 1 and 10-12 which articulate on. This is an online quiz called Thoracic Vertebra Lateral View.

Your Skills Rank. The thoracic vertebrae are a group of twelve small bones that form the vertebral spine in the upper trunk. Thoracic vertebrae are unique among the bones of the spine in that they are the only vertebrae that support ribs and have overlapping spinous processes.
Like all other vertebrae the thoracic vertebrae help to support the. Lateral dimensions increase toward the cervical and lumbar extremes of the thoracic region. The spinous processes of the first second eleventh and twelfth thoracic vertebrae are horizontal.
Third fourth ninth and tenth are oblique. And the fifth to eighth spinous processes overlap and are long and vertical. Articulated typical rib and vertebra superior view left.
Lateral view right typical left rib medial view Spinous process Transverse costal facet for tubercle of rib Tubercle of rib Angle of rib Shaft Shaft Neck of rib Head of rib Transverse process Body of thoracic vertebra Neck of rib Angle of rib Costal groove Shaft of rib Sternal end Superior costal facet. The vertebral column spine is divided into four regions. The cervical thoracic lumbar and sacral spines.
Both the cervical and lumbar spines demonstrate lordosis inward curvature. The thoracic and sacral spines demonstrate kyphosis outward curvature. A Regions of the spine.
B Bony vertebral column. Thoracic vertebra Lateral view. - Each vertebra has 2 superior and 2 inferior facets one on either side - The superior facet articulates with the rib of the same number.
Reach the sternum by their own costal cartilages. A prominent projection that extends laterally on each side of a thoracic vertebra with most bearing facets for rib articulation. Facet for rib articulation.
A smooth surface located at the end of each transverse process that allows movement between a rib and the vertebra. Similarly the spinous process of the thoracic vertebrae is much thinner and more gracile than that of the lumbar vertebrae making it look far-more giraffe-like in lateral view. Thoraric vertebra lateral view.
This is the Lateral View of the typical Thoracic Vertebra with labelled diagram of the 2 Adjacent typical Thoracic VertebraShort video with Diagrammatic Exp. Next up are the thoracic vertebrae which are located in the upper and middle back between the cervical and lumbar vertebrae. They are intermediate in size though they do get bigger further down the vertebral column.
On quick glance an easy way to identify the thoracic vertebrae is from a posterior lateral view where they look like a giraffe. Thoracic vertebra T6 lateral view Processus spinosus Fovea costalis processus transversus Pediculus arcus vertebrae Processus transversus Processus et facies articularis superior Processus mammillaris Lamina arcus vertebrae Processus spinosus D. Lumbar vertebra L3 superior view Corpus vertebrae Corpus vertebrae Facies.
The coronal plane of the thoracic vertebrae effectively prevents flexion and extension but does allow for rotation of the vertebral column. Lateral flexion should be possible but this motion is prevented by the presence of the ribs. The lateral limits are at the level of the second lumbar vertebra as the ribs curve downward from their origins on the vertebral column and the posterior margin is at the 12th thoracic vertebra.
The outlet is therefore higher at its anterior margin than at its posterior limit and reaches its lowest level in the lateral aspect near the. Lateral left and posterior right views of the thoracic spine. C7 T1 T7 T8 T12 L1 C7 T7 T8 T12 L1 T1.
Fig 2 Lateral and cranial views of the sixth thoracic vertebra a b and lateral view of the twelfth thoracic vertebra c. The thoracic transverse processes project posteroinferolaterally. Each thoracic vertebra articulates with a pair of ribs.
Each rib end articulates with demifacets above and below the discs to form synovial costovertebral joints as well as the thoracic transverse processes to form costotransverse joints. Identify the odontoid peg and assess its position and anatomical relationship to the C1 vertebra. Overlapping structures eg mastoid ear lobes C1 vertebra can make this difficult.
