	II. Osteology. 4b. The Ribs. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The ribs vary in their direction, the upper ones being less oblique than the lower; the obliquity reaches its maximum at the ninth rib, and gradually decreases from that rib to the twelfth.
		The distance between the angle and the tubercle is progressively greater from the second to the tenth ribs.
		The portion between the angle and the tubercle is rounded, rough, and irregular, and serves for the attachment of the Longissimus dorsi.

	III. Syndesmology. 5e. Costovertebral Articulations. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The articulations of the ribs with the vertebral column may be divided into two sets, one connecting the heads of the ribs with the bodies of the vertebræ, another uniting the necks and tubercles of the ribs with the transverse processes.
		—The ligament of the tubercle of the rib is a short but thick and strong fasciculus, which passes obliquely from the apex of the transverse process to the rough non-articular portion of the tubercle of the rib.
		Similarly, the strong ligaments binding the necks and tubercles of the ribs to the transverse processes limit the movements of the costotransverse joints to slight gliding, the nature of which is determined by the shape and direction of the articular surfaces (Fig.

		The rib joint from the second to the tenth thoracic vertebra is a functional complex that is comprised of several distinct joints, the costotransverse and costovertebral joints posteriorly and the costosternal and costochondral joints anteriorly.
		The costotransverse joint describes the articulation between the rib tubercle and the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra while the costovertebral joint describes the articulation between the rib head and the vertebral body.
		The sternocostal joints describe the articulations between the anterior end of the rib and the sternum for ribs one through five while the costochondral joints describe articulations between the lower six to seven ribs and the lowermost aspect of the sternal articulation.

	Thorax
		True ribs: ribs 1-7, are directly connected to the sternum by their costal cartilage.
		Ribs 8-10 are connected by their costal cartilage to the immediately superior rib.
		Joints of the heads of the ribs: head of each typical rib articulates with the demifacets of two adjacent vertebrae and the crest of the head is attached by a ligament to the intervertebral disk.

	Rib
		In humans, a typical rib consists of a wedge-shaped head at the posterior end that articulates with the vertebral body, a tubercle that articulates with the same numbered thoracic vertebra, a central shaft (body) and an anterior (sternal) end.
		Of the 12 pairs of ribs, all but the last two pairs are attached to the sternum either directly or indirectly at their anterior ends by costal cartilages.
		For this reason, the last two pairs of ribs (which have their costal cartilages embedded in the muscles of the body wall) are often called the "floating ribs".

		Tubercle or podaria are conical cone-shaped protuberance that cover the stem of most of the more-or-less barrel or ball shaped cacti.
		A tubercle (or tubercule) is an enlarged modified specialized leaf base, or petiole, and adjacent stem tissues fused together, the corresponding leaf of which no longer existing.
		The tubercle, and the rib in columnar cacti, are expandable to allow the cactus to store water during times of plentiful rainfall.

		Thus, in the cervical vertebrae, the posterior tubercle is the true transverse process and the anterior tubercle is the costal element.
		The articulating tubercle attaches to the transverse process of vertebra at the same level (rib 6 is attached to T6); this is a synovial joint called the costotransverse joint.

		The articulations of the cartilages of the true ribs with the sternum are arthrodial joints, with the exception of the first, in which the cartilage is directly united with the sternum, and which is, therefore, a synarthrodial articulation.
		They are very thin, intimately blended with the radiate sternocostal ligaments, and strengthened at the upper and lower parts of the articulations by a few fibers, which connect the cartilages to the side of the sternum.

		They are distinguished by the presence of facets on the sides of the bodies for articulation with the heads of the ribs, and facets on the transverse processes of all, except the eleventh and twelfth, for articulation with the tubercles of the ribs.
		The transverse processes arise from the arch behind the superior articular processes and pedicles; they are thick, strong, and of considerable length, directed obliquely backward and lateralward, and each ends in a clubbed extremity, on the front of which is a small, concave surface, for articulation with the tubercle of a rib.
		The articular facets for the heads of the ribs are of large size, and placed chiefly on the pedicles, which are thicker and stronger in this and the next vertebra than in any other part of the thoracic region.
