WHAT DOES TRANSVERSE PROCESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Transverse processes

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. The transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae articulate with the tubercle of rib. The transverse process of a lumbar vertebra is also called costal or costiform process by some anatomists, because it corresponds to a rudimentary rib which, as opposed to the thorax, is not developed in the lumbar region.
