Detailed Solution

False ribs – 5 pairs

Vertebrosternal ribs – 7 pairs

Vertebrochondral ribs – 3 pairs

Floating ribs – 2 pairs

There are 12 pairs of ribs, each a thin, flat bone connected dorsally to the vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum. The first seven pairs are true ribs, attached to the thoracic vertebrae and sternum with hyaline cartilage. The 8th to 10th pairs are vertebrochondral (false) ribs, connecting indirectly to the sternum. The last two pairs (11th and 12th) are floating ribs, not connected ventrally. Together with the thoracic vertebrae and sternum, they form the rib cage.
