The intertransverse ligaments are ligaments that are placed between the transverse processes.
In the cervical region they consist of a few irregular, scattered fibers.
In the thoracic region they are rounded cords intimately connected with the deep muscles of the back.
In the lumbar region they are thin and membranous.
