transverse process
A transverse process is a small bony protrusion extending outward from the sides of each vertebra in the spine. They serve as points of attachment for muscles and ligaments involved in movement and maintaining the stability of the spine. In addition to providing structural support, the transverse processes also help protect the spinal nerves that pass through the vertebrae.
