Answer:

E, Head of the fifth rib

Explanation:

Thoracic vertebrae are the twelve vertebral segments (T1-T12) that make up the thoracic spine.

These structures have very little movement because they are firmly attached to the ribs and sternum.  Because there is very little movement, the vertebrae in the thoracic spine are usually not sources of back pain.

The thoracic vertebrae articulate with the ribs, each of which will be related to some rib. The fourth thoracic vertebra is directly attached to the head of the fifth rib. For this reason, if a patient has a dislocation of the fourth thoracic vertebra, the lesion is involving the head of the fifth rib.

Why are hair permanents not Permanent??
Galina-37 [17]
The chemicals used only last for a short time, usually about 6 months, although this varies from person to person.  So colour or curl will 'fall' out after a while. 

Even if the process was permanent, your hair continues to grow, so the colour or curl will not be in the hair coming out of your scalp.

The term, 'permanent' was invented because this treatment lasts a lot longer than a rinse or hair curlers.
