Note how the postzygapophyses have moved to a more medial location than on
the first thoracic vertebra. This is their location on all but the last three or four
thoracic vertebrae. On the transitional thoracic vertebrae, at the posterior end, the postzygapophyses are oriented more laterally. Return to thoracic vertebrae |
