Costovertebral joints (transverse section) (Latin)

Proximally/posteriorly, the costae articulate with the vertebrae thoracicae via 2 articulations: the art. capitis costae/art. costocorporealis with the corpus vertebrae (a.k.a. art. costocorporea) and the art. costotransversaria between the articular facets of the tuberculum costae and the processus transversus of a vertebra thoracica
