large spinous process. Its transverse process may, or may not, have the costo- 

 transverse foramina. The vertebral artery and vein more often pass in front 

 of the transverse process than through its foramen: they more often pass 

 through the left foramen than the right one and the vein more often than the 

 artery. 



The anterior tubercle of the transverse process, which is an analogue of 

 the rib, may be enlarged, making a rudely developed cervical rib. This vertebra 

 has eighteen pairs of muscles attached to it.
