Q

The inferior thoracic aperture is bounded:

Q

False (vertebrochondral) ribs

A

8th-10th ribs
Have cartilages that are joined to the cartilage of the rib just superior to them; thus their connection with the sternum is indirect

Q

Characteristic features of thoracic vertebrae

A
  • bilateral costal facets (demifacets) on their bodies for articulation with the head of the ribs; atypical thoracic vertebrae have 1 whole costal facet in place of the demifacets
  • costal facets on their transverse processes for articulation with the tubercles of ribs, except for the inferior 2 or 3 thoracic vertebrae
  • long inferiorly slanting spinous processes
