This process is pierced at its base by the transverse foramen. The remaining five cervicals are very similar to one another. The seventh has no transverse foramen. The spinous processes grow successively longer from the third to the seventh (Fig. 21). The transverse processes of the fourth and fifth are bifurcated, the dorsal branch being called the transverse element and the ventral one the costal clement, since it is really the rudiment of a rib. The transverse process of the fifth ends in three branches. The following features are com- mon to all thirteen thoracic ver- tebra? : a spinous process, pro- jecting from the dorsum of the neural arch; two cranial articular processes, facing dorsad or dorsolaterad; two caudal articular processes, facing ven-.
