Transverse processes

Template:Infobox Bone Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

The transverse processes of a vertebra, two in number, project one at either side from the point where the lamina joins the pedicle, between the superior and inferior articular processes. They serve for the attachment of muscles and ligaments.
