what is the outline of the cerebral body of T`1 from superior view
somewhat rectangular with curved anterior margins
what is the appearance of the inferior surface of the vertebral body of T1
typically flat, lacking anterior and posterior lips characteristic of the cervicals
what surfaces are present on the upper and lower margins of the T1 vertebral body

the pedicle arises from the upper third of the vertebral body and projects posterior and slightly laterally
what is the direction of the transverse process at T1
