postzygapophysis vertebra caudal articular process UBERON:0001080 processus obliquus posterior FMA:11954 neural postzygopophyses caudal articular process of vertebra neural postzygopophysis Paired processes at the caudal end of the neural arch. The articular facets of the postzygapophyses face lateroventrally and articulate with the dorsomedially facing facets of the prezygapophyses of the succeeding vertebra. TAO:0000681 EMAPA:35918 SCTID:30079000 Posteriorly projecting processes allowing de facto contact between consecutive vertebrae (some soft tissues are also present) via articular facets.
