Q

T2-T7:

A

Rotation
Moves as a singular unit due to shared sternal attachment
As head turns, rotation occurs all the way down to T4-5 (Richter)
Facets look like lower cervical in higher segments, orients towards frontal plane in lower segments

Q

8-T12:

A

Lateral Flexion
Greater mobility in this region because lack of direct sternal attachment
Facet joint alignment is nearly upright, biasing frontal mobility, especially with increased extension (Richter).
