_ _ joints make up the main tri-joint complex along the with the _ between the vertebrae.
TWO FACET joints make up the main tri-joint complex along with the DISC between the vertebrae
The superior facet of the _ _ is similar to the facet of the _ spine, therefore it classified as a transitional vertebrae. The _ and _ _ are also considered transitional vertebrae because they resemble _ _.
The superior facet of the T1 VERTEBRAE is similar to the facet of the CERVICAL spine, therefore it is classified as a transitional vertebrae
The T11 and T12 VERTEBRAE are also considered transitional vertebrae because they resemble the LUMBAR FACETS
The superior facets of T2-T11 face _ , _ and slightly _; the inferior facets face _, _ and slightly _. This shape enables _ _ in the thoracic spine.
