Thoracic cage thoracic cage is false. all ribs connect to the sternum either directly or indirectly (coastal cartilages connect some ribs to sternum. Eh, everyone here is off so far. This is how it works. The problem is the question, because none of the ribs connect anteriorly, but are attached by use of coastal cartilage. None of the ribs connect directly to the sternum, but the only possible answer to this question would be sternum anyway, simply because of the word "anterior." Now posteriorly ALL ribs, true and false alike, attach to the vertebral column. Actually, according to our text book in A & P, it is Thoracic cage!
What type bones does rib have?
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.
