The following labeled diagram shows the Superior View and the Lateral View of the vertebrae of a mammal. As we see, the Superior View of the Vertebrae shows the Spinous process, Vertebral canal, sixth rib, Costotransverse joint, superior articular facet, costovertebral joint, superior costal facet, pedicle, and laminae costal facet. Similar to this, the Lateral view of the Vertebrae has a Superior articular facet, Transverse process, Costal Facet, Intervertebral foramen, Apophyseal joint, Spinous Process, Pedicle, Inferior Articular Process, and more. In simpler ways, the sixth thoracic vertebrae (T6), located just below the level of the shoulder blades, works in conjunction with the remaining 11 segments.
