What muscle protect ribs?
Ribs 1-10 protect the lungs along with the sternum and the clavical.
Do all ribs directly or indirectly articulate with the sternum?
No, not all ribs directly articulate with the sternum. Ribs 1 to 7 directly articulate with the sternum, while ribs 8 to 10 indirectly articulate with the sternum through the costal cartilages of the ribs above them. Ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs that do not articulate with the sternum at all.
The ribs and sternum are best classified as?
The ribs and sternum are best classified as the rib cage. Most of the ribs and sternum consist of bone.
What is the difference between the 3 different types of ribs?

False ribs (ribs 8-10) are indirectly connected to the sternum through the cartilage of the ribs above them, while floating ribs (ribs 11-12) do not attach to the sternum at all, ending in the muscle of the abdominal wall. This anatomical arrangement provides structural support and flexibility to the thoracic cavity.
How many ribs are connected to the sternum?

How are the ribs classified on the basis of their attachment to the sternum?
Ribs are classified according to their attachment to the sternum. The first seven pairs of ribs attach directly to the sternum and are called true ribs. Ribs 8-10 have cartilage that attaches to the cartilage of the seventh rib and are called false ribs. The eleventh and twelfth ribs do not attach to the sternum and are called floating ribs.
What Ribs are attach individually to the sternum by way of the coastal cartilage?
Ribs 8 to 10 are attached individually to the sternum by way of the costal cartilage. Ribs 1 to 7 are attached directly to the sternum, while ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs without any attachment to the sternum.
Which ribs are not attached to the sternum?
Only the true ribs are attached to the sternum the false ribs (3) and the floating ribs (2) are not directly attached. The flalse ribs are attached indirectly via cartillage and the floating ribs are not attached at all.
