Ruas tulang belakang toraks

Pada vertebrat, ruas tulang belakang toraks atau vertebra toraks terdiri daripada segmen tengah turus ruas tulang belakang, di antara ruas tulang belakang serviks dan ruas tulang belakang lumbar.The thoracic vertebrae were historically called "dorsal vertebrae"; cf. . Especially due to the free copying of old public domain versions of Gray's Anatomy, the old term may still be encountered, however the old term is long obsolete and misleading, as the dorsum refers to the whole back and not just the thoracic part of the back.
