C1 is missing a	body
C1 is missing a	spinous process
C2's uniques part	Dens
central opening	vertebral foramen
lateral projections on each side; attachment for muscles and ligaments; articulate with ribs	transverse process
bony plate between TP and SP; part of the arch protecting the spinal cord	lamina
posterior bony projection you can feel along your back; attachemnt for muscles and ligaments that move and stabilize spine	spinous process
short, thick bony "stalks" that connect the vertebral body to the TP; help from the sides of the vertebral arch; protect spinal cord	pedicles

Gladiolus: the long central portion of the sternum	body
small, cartilaginous tip at the inferior of the sternum	xiphoid process
(suprasternal): the visible dip at the top of the manubrium; landmark for finding tracea or major vessels	jugular notch
paired shallow depression on the upper manubrium; articulation sites for the clavicles	clavicular notches
small facets along the sides of the manubrium and body; articulation points for the costal cartilages of the ribs	costal notches
rounded posterior end of the rib; articulated with the bodies of two adjacent T vertebrae	head
small bump just lateral to the head; articulate with the transverse process of the vertebrae	tubercle
upper smooth surface on the rib's head	superior articular facet
lower smooth surface on the rib's head	inferior articular facet
the long, curved portion of the rib; provides shape to the thoracic cage and surface area for muscle attachment	shaft
shallow groove on the inner, inferioir border of the rib	costal groove
point where the rib's shaft curves sharply forward	angle
