Answer 5

Sternum: made of manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. Most ribs attach directly or indirectly to sternum.
Ribs: each rib has a head for articulation with costal facet of thoracic vertebral body. Head tapers to neck, where tubercule articulates with costal facet of thoracic vertebra’s transverse process. Anteriorly, ribs terminate in costal cartilage that spans gap to sternum.
True ribs: ribs 1-7 articulate directly (via their own costal cartilage) with the sternum
False ribs: ribs 8-12 do not directly attach to the sternum, some connect to other costal cartilages, while others do not connect at all. Latter referred to as floating ribs (ribs 11 and 12)
