Propose a reason why the ribs are attached anteriorly by cartilage?

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!
Which ribs are not attached to the sternum?
Only the true ribs are attached to the sternum the false ribs (3) and the floating ribs (2) are not directly attached. The flalse ribs are attached indirectly via cartillage and the floating ribs are not attached at all.
Are false ribs attached to coastal cartilage?
Yes, false ribs are still attached to coastal cartilages. Floating ribs aren't.
Upper ribs are attached to the sarum?
The upper ribs are attached in front to the sternum by means of coastal cartilage.
Bones that are attached anteriorly to the ribs?
The sternum.

What is the Rib muscle?
There is no "rib muscle." Ribs are bones attached to the vertebral column in the back and the sternum anteriorly. There are muscles attached to the ribs - several, in fact. In between the ribs are the internal and external intercostal muscles, there are the pectoral muscles, the serratus anterior and serratus ventralis, the latissimus dorsi also attaches to the ribs. Internally, the diaphragm attaches to the inferior ribs. Many of the strap muscles of the back attach to the ribs. There are others as well.

How many pairs of ribs in adult human?
there are seven pairs of ribs that are comlpetely attached bonetobone and there are three pairs that are attached wiht cartilage. the last remaining"floating" ribs are not attached. All the ribs are atached to the spine.
