In the case of those vertebrae to which ribs are attached (dorsal vertebrse), each of these transverse processes bears a small articular facet, to which a similar facet on the corresponding rib is applied. On the bodies of these same dorsal vertebrse above and below on each side there is a half facet, which in each case unites with its neighbour on the nearest vertebra to make a whole facet, for articulation with the head of the rib.
