Study Notes

Costal Demifacets of Thoracic Vertebrae

Located on the lateral aspects of thoracic vertebrae.
Each thoracic vertebra has two costal demifacets for articulation with ribs.
Allows for stability and movement of the thoracic cage.

Superior Costal Demifacet

Found on the upper part of each thoracic vertebra.
Articulates with the head of the rib that pairs with that vertebra.
Typically, ribs 1-10 utilize superior demifacets for proper attachment.

Inferior Costal Demifacet

Located on the lower part of each thoracic vertebra.
Works in conjunction with the superior facette of the adjacent vertebra.
Important for connecting the lower ribs (typically ribs 2-11) to the spine for rib cage stabilization.

Transverse Process with Costal Facets of Thoracic Vertebrae

Extends laterally from each thoracic vertebra.
Contains costal facets which connect to the tubercle of the rib.
Key role in rib articulation points, enhancing the thoracic spine’s structural integrity and mobility.
