are floating ribs false ribs
Yes
parts of the posterior rib
Head
Neck
Tubercle
what does the head of the rib articulate with
Superior: above vertebra
Inferior: own vertebra
separates head from tubercle
Neck
regions of the tubercle of the rib
Articular and non articular
what does the articular part of the tubercle do
medial, oval for transverse fossa of own vertebra
What does the non articular part of the rib do
attachments of ligaments and is roughened
different of superior and inferior margin of ribs
Inferior is sharp
superior is smooth
what is found on the inferior margin of the rib
Intercostal groove
where does the rib articulate posteriorly
Head of the rib and the superior and inferior costal facets of the rody of the vertebra
