The costovertebral joints, 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.1. Articulations of the Heads of the Ribs (articulationes capitulorum; costocentral articulations) —These constitute a series of Costotransverse joints (articulationes costotransversariæ) —The articular portion of the tubercle of the rib forms with the articular surface on the adjacent transverse process an arthrodial joint.In the eleventh and twelfth ribs this articulation is wanting.The ligaments of the joint are: The Articular Capsule. The Posterior Costotransverse. The Anterior Costotransverse.
