On the rib, it is attached to the roughened nonarticular surface of the tubercle that we say earlier. So the main movement of this joint is a sliding motion in a superior to inferior direction which happens as the head of the rib rotates in the costovertebral joint. And this ligament protects the costotransverse joint and prevents excessive THE COSTOVERTEBRAL JOINTS 229 Fig. 1.-Diagrammatic representation of the two types of costovertebral joint. The tenth rib (ClO) in the figure articulates with the adjacent bodies of T9 and T10 by two hemi-facets, and also with the intervertebral disc.The intra-articular ligament divides the joint into two separate synovial cavities. Costovertebral and costotransverse joints connect the typical ribs with thoracic vertebrae and play a major role in breathing. Li, Z., Kent, R., & Subit, D. (2013).
