- Abstract
The present study was conducted on the thoracic vertebrae of Blue bull. Twelve or thirteen thoracic vertebrae were characterized by long supraspinous processes which increased in height and breadth up to the fourth vertebra and then gradually decreased upto last. The bodies were short, distinctly constricted in the middle and were expanded at the extremities. The transverse processes were short, thick and single. Each transverse process possessed a tubercular facet on its ventral aspect for articulation with tubercle of the rib. Its backward inclination increased up to the sixth and then subsequently decreased upto last. In the last thoracic vertebra, the body was oval and the posterior pair of costal facets was absent and the spine was vertical.
