Best Answer

men and women have the same number of rib bones, 7 true ribs, 5 false ribs, and 2 floating ribs that don't go all the way around and connect to the sternum.

24 for both....
Boys and girls have the same number of ribs, 12 pairs. The idea that boys have fewer ribs comes from the biblical story of the creation in Genesis where God supposedly made Eve from one of Adam's ribs.

Men and women typically have 10 ribs attached (indirectly) to the sternum on both sides and 1 or 2 so-called floating ribs on both sides, not connected to the sternum. Individual differences are found. No significant variation between men and women there.
