The angle of a rib (costal angle) may both refer to the bending part of it and a prominent line in this area a little in front of the tubercle.This line is directed downward and laterally; this gives attachment to a tendon of the iliocostalis muscle.At this point the rib is bent in two directions and at the same time twisted on its long axis.
