| classic cervical rib syndrome | <syndrome> Very chronic axon loss brachial plexopathy, caused by compromise of the lower trunk fibres by a congenital band extending from a rudimentary cervical rib to the first thoracic rib; rare disorder, found mostly in young to middle-aged women, that presents with unilateral hand wasting and weakness, particularly involving the lateral thenar eminence; sometimes accompanied by intermittent discomfort along the medial forearm and hand. Synonym: cervical rib and band syndrome, classic cervical rib syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |

| crest of head of rib | The ridge that separates the superior and inferior articular surfaces of the head of a rib. Synonym: crista capitis costae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| head of rib | The rounded medial extremity of a rib which, except for ribs 1, 10, 11, and 12, articulates by two facets with the bodies of two contiguous vertebrae. Synonym: caput costae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| short rib-polydactyly syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and incompatible with life. The main features are narrow thorax, short ribs, scapular and pelvic dysplasia, and polydactyly. (12 Dec 1998) |
| slipping rib | Subluxation of a rib cartilage, with costochondral separation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| elevator muscle of rib | musculus levator costae, elevator muscle of rib, musculi levatores costarum |
| tubercle of rib | The knob on the posterior surface of a rib, at the junction of its neck and shaft, which articulates with the transverse process of the vertebra, whch corresponds in number to the rib, forming a costotransverse joint. Synonym: tuberculum costae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| joint of head of rib | The synovial joint between a rib and bodies of two adjacent vertebrae; the joint cavity is divided by an intra-articular ligament which attaches to the intervertebral disk; the first, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth ribs articulate with only one vertebra. Synonym: articulatio capitis costae, capitular joint. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lumbar rib | An occasional rib articulating with the transverse process of the first lumbar vertebra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior costotransverse ligament | <anatomy> The fibrous band that extends upward from the neck of a rib to the transverse process of the next higher vertebra. Synonym: ligamentum costotransversarium superius, anterior costotransverse ligament, ligamentum costotransversarium anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior ligament of epididymis | The uppermost of the two folds of the tunica vaginalis between the head of the epididymis and the testis. Synonym: ligamentum epididymidis superius. (05 Mar 2000) |
