| L1, | L2, L3, L4, L5 first, second, third, fourth, and fifth lumbar vertebrae |
| arcus costalis | That portion of the inferior aperture of the thorax formed by the articulated cartilages of the seventh to tenth (false) ribs. Synonym: arcus costalis, arcus costarum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cartilago costalis | The cartilage forming the anterior continuation of a rib, providing the means by which it reaches and articulates with the sternum. Synonym: cartilago costalis, costicartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars costalis diaphragmatis | The part of the diaphragm that arises from the inner aspect of the lower six costal cartilages and the lower four ribs and inserts on the anterolateral part of the central tendon. Synonym: pars costalis diaphragmatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars vertebralis faciei costalis pulmonis | The part of the medial surface of the lung in contact with the vertebral bodies. Synonym: pars vertebralis faciei costalis pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pleura costalis | The layer of parietal pleura lining the chest walls. Synonym: pleura costalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incisura costalis | One of the notches or facets on the lateral edge of the sternum for articulation with a costal cartilage. Synonym: incisura costalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberositas costalis | <anatomy> An irregular pitted area on the inferior surface of the clavicle at its sternal end, giving attachment to the costoclavicular ligament. Synonym: impressio ligamenti costoclavicularis, costal tuberosity, rhomboid impression, tuberositas costalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fovea costalis inferior | Demifacet on the lower edge of the body of a vertebra articulating with the head of a rib. Synonym: fovea costalis inferior, inferior costal pit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fovea costalis superior | A demifacet on the upper edge of the body of a vertebra articulating with the head of a rib; a single rib articulates with the inferior costal facet and superior costal facet of the adjacent vertebrae. Synonym: fovea costalis superior, superior costal pit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tubercle of cervical vertebrae | The anterior projection from the transverse process. Synonym: tuberculum anterius vertebrarum cervicalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcus vertebrae | The posterior projection from the body of a vertebra that encloses the vertebral foramen; it consists of paired pedicles and laminae; the spinous, transverse, and articular processes arise from the arch. In aggregate, the venous arches-and the ligamenta flava that unite them-form the posterior wall of the vertebral (spinal) canal. Synonym: arcus vertebrae, neural arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| block vertebrae | Congenitally fused and hypoplastic vertebral bodies which, on radiographs, give the appearance of a more or less solid bony mass. See: Klippel-Feil syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bullet shaped vertebrae | <radiology> Differential diagnosis: Morquio disease, achondroplasia, Hurler disease (12 Dec 1998) |
