What exactly are the thoracic vertebrae—and why are they different from the rest of your spine?
In this 3D medical animation, we explore T1–T12, the 12 thoracic vertebrae that form the middle section of the spine and provide important attachment points for the ribs.
Discover how their unique anatomy helps create the protective framework around the heart and lungs while allowing movement of the chest and torso.
