This document provides a summary of the key anatomical structures of thoracic vertebrae 7 and 8. It includes 1) labeled diagrams showing the superior and inferior articular processes, lamina, pedicle, vertebral foramen, and other structures; 2) lists of the anterior and posterior ligaments connecting the vertebrae; and 3) names of muscles attaching to the vertebrae. The presentation concludes by asking if there are any questions about the anatomy of thoracic vertebrae 7 and 8.
