Study Notes

Costotransverse Joints

  • The costotransverse joints are synovial joints where the tubercle of a rib connects with the transverse process of the corresponding vertebra.
  • Each rib's articulation varies:
    • The 1st rib and ribs 10, 11, and 12 form a single synovial joint exclusively with their corresponding vertebral bodies.
  • Ribs 2 to 9 have a unique joint structure:
    • The head of each rib articulates with the superior costal facet of its corresponding vertebra and the inferior costal facet of the vertebra above it.
  • Example articulation:
    • The head of the 6th rib connects with the superior costal facet of the T6 vertebra and the inferior costal facet of the T5 vertebra, also involving the intervertebral disc between T5 and T6.
