The official nomenclature of the articular facets for the rib on the thoracic vertebra: a case for revision.

In Nomina Anatomica 6th ed., the articular facets for the rib on the thoracic vertebra are called Fovea costalis superior, Fovea costalis inferior, and Fovea costalis processus transversi respectively. But, there is a little problem about the names of Fovea costalis superior and Fovea costalis inferior on the body of vertebra, because usually only one facet exists on each side of the body of 10th to 12th (or 9th to 12th) thoracic vertebra. This single facet on the body of vertebra should be called just Fovea costalis.
