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 ...
Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] 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 ...
Anterior view. (Radiate lig. visible at center.) The radiate ligament of head of rib is a ligament of the costovertebral joint that typically connects the anterior edge of the head of each rib, and the side of the bodies of two adjacent vertebrae and their intervertebral discs. [1][2] The ligament is formed as a thickening of the anterior ...
A costal facet is a site of connection between a rib and a vertebra. The costal facets are located on the vertebrae that the rib articulates with. They are the superior costal facet, the inferior costal facet, and the transverse costal facet. [1] Rib 1 only articulates with a transverse costal facet. The superior costal facet joins the rib to ...
