Ribs 8 through 10. The cartilage of rib 8 connects to the cartilage of rib 7. The cartilage of rib 9 connects to the cartilage of rib 8. The cartilage of rib 10 connects to the cartilage of rib 9.
What body part lies lateral to the sternum?
Well, lateral means "next to", which refers to the ribs (or cartilage connecting the ribs to the sternum). Depending on which portion of the sternum you are referring to, you will end up at a different rib, which are numbered from top to bottom, 1 - 7. There are 12 sets of ribs total, but only 7 are "lateral" to the sternum.

What connects the ribs to the sternum?
The true ribs (pair 1-7) are connected to the sternum by way of the costal cartilages, a type called hyaline. Pair 8-10 are called floating ribs and they also attach to the sternum but use the same cartilage as 7.
What is the skeleton?
Well, the skeleton of the chest is made up of several parts. There is the rib cage, thoracic vertebra, and the sternum. The rib cage is made up of 12 ribs, 7 of which connect the sternum and are called true ribs. The thoracic vertebra is just a fancy name for you back bone where you ribs connect to. The sternum on the large bone that devides the rib cage in half it is made up of three connected parts: manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
