    extending from the styloid process to angle and posterior border of ramus oi the'iaw, which is developed in connection with the deep cervical fascia (q.v.). (Stylo-hyoid ligament: a fibrous cord extending from the styloid process to small cornu of hyoid bone.) VI.—ARTICULATION OF THE RIBS WITH THE VERTEBRA. Articulations between the Heads of the Ribs and the Bodies of the Vertebra. Arthrodial loints held together by the following ligaments:— d he anterior costo-vertebral or stellate ligament is com- posed of three fasciculi, which radiate from the anterior surface of the head of the rib. The superior fasciculus passes to the body of the vertebra above ; the inferior fasciculus to the body of the vertebra below ; the middle fasciculus to the interverte- bral substance. A capsular Jigament surrounds articulation between the head ot the rib and the articular surface formed by two vertebrae. The interarticular ligament divides the joint into two parts, each ot which has a separate synovial membrane. It passes between ridge on head ot rib and intervertebral substance. (Absent in the ist, nth, and 12th ribs.) Articulations oj the Necks and Tubercles of the Ribs with the Transverse Processes. Arthrodial joints held together by the following ligaments : The anterior or superior costo-transverse ligament passes from the upper border oi neck ot rib, to lower border ^f tr^jTsv~—e -Process above. (Absent m ist rifTp The mi&lle costo-transverse or interosseous ligament: a short thick band passing from the anterior surface of the transverse process to the posterior surface of neck of corre- sponding rib. The posterior costo-transverse ligament passes from apex of transverse process to rough non-articu'lar part of tubercle of rib. (Absent in nth and 12th ribs.) The c^pgular ligament surrounds articular surfaces, en- closing a small synovial membrane, (h’his articulation is absent in the nth and 12th ribs.) ARTICULATION OF THE CARTILAGES OF THE TRUE RIBS WITH THE STERNUM. The anterior chondro-sternal ligament: a broad thin band, radiating from extremity of the nbcartilage to the sternum.
