The Interarticular Ligament is fixed to the groove dividing the articular head of the rib into two facets. It passes inwards across the floor of the spinal canal, being united to the upper edge of the intervertebral disc ; and on the middle line it becomes continuous with the corre- sponding ligament of the opposite rib. It is not present in the 1st rib. It should be displayed by disarticulating the costo-transverse joints of the first vertebra in the segment, and then removing the arch. On. Fig. 16.

Synovial ,S'«c.«.âThere is one sac on each side of the interarticular ligament. There is only one sac for the first costo-central joint. Costo-transverse Joint. This is maintained by two ligamentsâan anterior and a posterior costo-transverse ligament, and it possesses a synovial sac. The Posterior Costo-transverse Ligament is composed of a band of fibres stretching across the joint behind, and fixed by its extremities to the rib and transverse process. The Anterior (Interosseous) Costo-transverse Ligament stretches between the antero-inferior aspect of the transverse process and the neck of the nb. It is partly concealed by the transverse process, and is best seen when viewed from above and in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page ima
