Costovertebral articulations -- The articulations of the ribs with the vertebral column may be divided into two sets:
- Articulation of head of rib -- connecting the heads of the ribs with the bodies of the vertebrae.
- Costotransverse articulations -- uniting the necks and tubercles of the ribs with the transverse processes.
