One rib is one bone
There are 80 bones in the axial skeleton, which includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage.
The bone that runs parallel to the 12th thoracic vertebra down the spine is the twelfth rib. Ribs are long, curved bones that form the ribcage and provide protection to vital organs in the chest cavity. The twelfth rib is the last rib in the ribcage and is often referred to as the floating rib because it does not attach to the sternum like the other ribs.
The rib bones protect vital organs such as the heart and lungs by forming a protective cage around them. Additionally, they provide structure and support to the torso, allowing for the expansion and contraction of the chest during breathing.
The heart is not made up of bones; it is a muscular organ primarily composed of cardiac muscle tissue. The rib cage protects the heart, which lies within the chest between the lungs and is surrounded by the sternum (breastbone) and the thoracic vertebrae in the spine.
Your sternum (breastbone) is connected to your rib bones. The ribs wrap around the chest and connect to the sternum in the front, helping to protect vital organs like the heart and lungs.

There is one shoulder bone in humans, the scapula or shoulder blade. The clavicle (collarbone) is a modified rib and more properly considered part of the chest bones.
