![]() They are attached to the vertebrae on the dorsal side and to the sternum on the ventral side. The central hollow portion in the body through which the spinal cord passes is called the vertebral column which is differentiated into cervical(7), thoracic(12), lumbar(5), sacral(1-fused), and coccygeal(1-fused). Ribs are flat, narrow and curved bones of strips found in the chest of vertebrates. ![]() The last five pairs of ribs that are not attached to the sternum directly are called false ribs. ![]() The last two pairs i.e, 11th and 12th pairs of the ribs are not connected ventrally either to the sternum or the anterior ribs, hence they are called floating ribs. They join the cartilaginous parts of the 7th rib. The remaining three pairs of ribs are called false ribs i.e, 8th, 9th, and 10th pairs of ribs because they do not directly articulate with the sternum. Examples include the bones of the spine (vertebrae). Irregular bone has a shape that does not conform to the above three types. Examples include ribs, shoulder blades, breast bone and skull bones. The sternum is a thin, flat, blade-shaped bone. Flat bone has a flattened, broad surface. With the help of hyaline cartilage, the ribs are connected to the thoracic vertebrae dorsally and to the sternum ventrally. Twelve pairs of ribs extend laterally and anteriorly from the thoracic vertebrae to meet at or near the sternum. Among those 12 pairs of ribs, the first seven pairs of ribs are called true ribs. They are called so because they contain two articulation surfaces at their dorsal end. ![]() Bicephalic ribs are found in the human body. These shouldn’t be confused with beef back ribs, which are longer and have less meat on top of the bone. Both are taken from the lower section of the rib cageplate ribs from the area between the brisket and the flank, and chuck ribs from around the chuck. In comparing prices this week, back ribs were 5.99 per pound (on sale) at a high-end retailer while boneless pork loin was fetching just 5.49 per pound (regular price). In the human chest, there are 12 pairs of ribs present and each rib is like a thin flat bone that is connected to the vertebral column dorsally and to the sternum ventrally. Plate ribs and chuck ribs are two different types of beef short ribs. Hint: Thin flat bones that are connected to the vertebral column and sternum on the dorsal and ventral side respectively whose number is one pair less equals to the number of vertebrae of the vertebral column.
