The articulations of the heads of the ribs (or costocentral articulations) constitute a series of gliding or arthrodial joints, and are formed by the articulation of the heads of the typical ribs with the costal facets on the contiguous margins of the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae and with the intervertebral discs between them; the first, eleventh and twelfth ribs each articulate with a ...
The intra-articular ligament of head of rib [1] is a ligament of the articulation of head of rib [3] situated within the joint capsule. [ 3 ] [ 2 ] It takes the shape of a short, flat band. [ 4 ] It joins the crest of head of rib (between the superior costal articular facet and inferior costal articular facet [ 4 ] [ 2 ] - thus dividing the ...
The costovertebral joints are the joints that connect the ribs to the vertebral column. The articulation of the head of rib connects the head of the rib and the bodies of vertebrae. The costotransverse joint connects the rib with the transverse processes of vertebrae.
The parts of the rib. Each rib consists of a head, neck, and a shaft. All ribs are attached posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae. They are numbered to match the vertebrae they attach to – one to twelve, from top (T1) to bottom. The head of the rib is the end part closest to the vertebra with which it articulates. It is marked by a kidney ...
The head of the rib lies next to a vertebra. The ribs connect to the vertebrae with two costovertebral joints, one on the head and one on the neck. The head of the rib has a superior and an inferior articulating region, separated by a crest. These articulate with the superior and inferior costal facets on the connecting vertebrae. [5]
Rib 1 only articulates with a transverse costal facet. The superior costal facet joins the rib to the top of a vertebra. The transverse costal facet joins the rib to the transverse process of a vertebra, and the inferior costal facet joins the rib to the lower part of the vertebra. The joints formed are known as the costovertebral joints.
A wanted man who climbed onto a roof and threw bricks and tiles at police officers has been jailed for nine years and 10 months. Kyle Ferguson, 30, caused a five-hour standoff after he went on top ...
The first seven pairs are connected with the sternum; the next three are each articulated with the lower border of the cartilage of the preceding rib; the last two have pointed extremities, which end in the wall of the abdomen. [2] Like the ribs, the costal cartilages vary in their length, breadth, and direction. They increase in length from ...
