What is the coastal angle is?
The costal angle is the angle beneath the the sternum. It is created by the costal cartilage that joins what are called the false ribs, the ones tha6t do not directly attach to the sternum via their own cartilage, but attach directly and indirectly to the cartilage of the 7th rib. This angle is created because these false ribs get shorter as they go down. Since they are connected by the descending costal cartilage which travels laterally and inferiorly from the sternum, it creates the angle known as the costal angle.
What is the the importance of cartilage?
Costal cartilage allows more ribs to attach to the sternum, albeit indirectly, for a more stable and secure ribcage to protect the heart and lungs.
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.
Most ribs are attached anteriorly to the?
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 is the scientific name for true ribs and false ribs?
The "true" ribs are the first 8 ribs of the horse's rib cage (there are 18 total ribs). They are the true ribs because the attach to both the vertebrae above them and the sternum below. I found this in a book-Chapter 35 of Saddles by Russel H. Beatie. Hope this helps.

The difference between a true ribe and a false ribe?
True ribs attach with the cartilage that is a direct bridge to the sternum; they are called true ribs or vertebro-sternal ribs The false ribs just attach to cartilage that bind into one link or bridge that connects with the sternum (almost looks like a little web)
What are some causes for arthritis in the breastbone?

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.
