"The neck is the narrow portion of the rib, between the head and tubercle."

Line 16:8 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>neck</strong>'

"The tubercle, immediately after the neck, is a prominence on the external surface of the rib which contains a medial facet that articulates with the transverse process of the numerically corresponding vertebra. This area is called the articular part. The non-articular part provides attachment for the lateral costotransverse ligament."

"The joint capsule is reinforced by the radiate ligament. This ligament has three bands. The upper band extends to the body of the vertebra above. The lower band extends to the vertebra below. The central band runs horizontally, deep to the anterior longitudinal ligament, into the intervertebral disc."
