Out of the 12 pairs of ribs, the last two (11th and 12th) pairs of ribs are not connected ventrally and are therefore, called floating ribs. True ribs (1st seven pairs) are ventrally connected to the sternum. The vertebrochondral ribs (8th, 9th and 10th pairs) do not articulate directly with the sternum but join the seventh rib with the help of hyaline cartilage. The first seven pairs of ribs are ventrally connected to the sternum directly and are called true ribs.
