The movements of these articulationsare upward and downward, and slightlybackward and forward, all the move-ments increasing from the head to theanterior extremity of the rib. Fig. coiro-vtartFini join rs STNI SSMCIOGY. Costo-Stebnal Joinvs.—In front the ribs are articulated with theIternum, and some of them with each other. The ligamentous con-nections are the anterior, posterior, superior, and inferior costo-sternal,and the synovial memb-anes. The sixth, seventh, eighth, and some-times the fifth and ninth costal cartilages have a perfect synovial mein-Orane, and articulate with each other. The motions of these articulations are limited to a slight slidingmovement. Joints of the Sternum—The pieces of this bone are connected»y a thin plate of interosseous ligament, and anterior and posteriorsternal ligaments, which contribute very much to its strength, and tothe elasticity of the front of the chest. Vertebro-Pelvic Joint.—The last lumbar vertebra and the sa-crum are connected by the same general ligaments as are the vertebrawith each other; in addition to which, there are two proper liga
