Articular processes and facets
Explanation:
Hola Heather

Después de dar mi "agree" a la rta. de arriba me di cuenta de que tu pregutna era más amplia.

Las apófisis articulares (articular processes) son 4 extensiones posteriores de la vértebra (2 superiores y 2 inferiores para cada vértebra). Las vértebras también tienen superficies planas llamadas carillas articulares (articular facets) para articularse con otras vértebras, o, en el caso de las vértebras dorsales, con las costillas.

Suerte
Elena


Articular Processes.—The articular processes, two superior and two inferior, spring from the junctions of the pedicles and laminæ. The superior project upward, and their articular surfaces are directed more or less backward; the inferior project downward, and their surfaces look more or less forward. The articular surfaces are coated with hyaline cartilage.


The thoracic vertebræ (Fig. 90) are intermediate in size between those of the cervical and lumbar regions; they increase in size from above downward, the upper vertebræ being much smaller than those in the lower part of the region. They are distinguished by the presence of **facets** on the sides of the bodies for articulation with the heads of the ribs, and facets on the transverse processes of all, except the eleventh and twelfth, for articulation with the tubercles of the ribs.....
