The frontal attack is usually the least desirable form of maneuver because it exposes the majority of the offensive force to the concentrated fires of the defenders. The battalion may conduct a frontal attack against a stationary or moving enemy force (Figure 4-6).
All of the twelve ribs articulate posteriorly with the vertebrae of the spine. Each rib forms two joints: Costotransverse joint â Between the tubercle of the rib, and the transverse costal facet of the corresponding vertebrae.
In human ribs the per cents of four kinds of bone surfaces (i.e., periosteal, haversian canal, cortical-endosteal, and trabecular-endosteal) that showed histological evidence of remodeling were measured. At each surface, (1) formative, (2) resorptive, and (3) neither form of remodeling activity was measured.
