The sternum and ribs belong to the axial skeleton.
The sternum is the flat bone that the upper ribs are joined to.
Ribs are called 'flat bones'. As opposed to long, short, and irregular bones, the function of flat bones is to have broad surfaces for protection of organs and attachment of muscles. Ribs themselves are divided into three categories: True ribs are the first 7 pairs, connected to the spine. In the front, true ribs connect to the breastbone or sternum by means of coastal cartilage. The next 3 pairs are false ribs. They are shorter than true ribs and connected to the spine. In the front, false ribs are connected to the lowest true rib. The last 2 pairs are floating ribs. They are the smallest kind of rib. They are attached to the spine. In the front, floating ribs are not connected to anything.
A flat bone is thin, flattened,and usually curved. It has thin layers of compact bone around a layer of spongy bone with no marrow cavity. Flat bones form the skull, ribs, sternum and scapula.
