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.
Each rib articulates with the vertebral column in three places. The head of the rib articualtes with the superior coastal facet of the vertebra after which it is number, the i â¦ nferior coastal facet of the vertebra above it and the articular facet on the transverce process of the vertebrae aftr which it is numbered.ach disc is slightly flexible, so the combined movement of many of the joints in the vertebral column allows the back to bend forward or the the side or to twist. they are amphiarthrotic joints because these joints allow slight movement.
