Floating ribs attach where?

Floating ribs are the last two pairs of ribs in the human ribcage, specifically the 11th and 12th ribs. Unlike true ribs, they do not attach to the sternum or to the cartilage of other ribs; instead, they are only connected to the vertebrae at the back. This anatomical feature allows for greater flexibility and movement in the lower back and abdomen.


What is a floating rib?

Floating ribs are four atypical ribs (two lowermost pairs, XI-XII) in the human ribcage. They are called so because they are attached to the vertebrae only, and not to the sternum or cartilage coming off of the sternum. Some people are missing one of the two pairs. Others have a third pair. Most, however, possess only two pairs. Their position can be permanently altered by a form of body modification called tightlacing, which uses a corset to compress and move the ribs.
