Vedclass · Answer

(C) The human rib cage consists of $12$ pairs of ribs. $(c)$ The first $7$ pairs of ribs are called true ribs because they are attached directly to the sternum via hyaline cartilage. The $8^{th}$,$9^{th}$,and $10^{th}$ pairs are called false ribs (vertebrochondral ribs) because they are attached indirectly to the sternum by joining the cartilage of the $7^{th}$ rib. The last $2$ pairs ($11^{th}$ and $12^{th}$) are called floating ribs because their anterior ends are not attached to either the sternum or the cartilage of other ribs.
