What is the scientific name for true ribs and false ribs?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

True ribs attach directly to the sternum by their "own" costal cartilages. False ribs attach indirectly to the sternum or entirely lack a sternal attachment.

The first seven sets of ribs are connected via cartilage to the breast bone and are termed true ribs. The five pairs of ribs below those are called False Ribs. Unlike true ribs, false ribs do not connect directly to the breast bone/ These ribs have their own costal cartilage at first, but then all of their costal cartilages conjoin to have a common attachment point on the sternum. Ribs number 11 and 12 do not have any coastal cartilage at all; they are "floating ribs".

Answer 3

The upper seven pairs of ribs are true ribs, for a total of 14 true ribs. Below them are five pairs of false ribs.
There are seven pairs of true ribs for a total of 14. They are also known as "upper ribs" and are attached to the sternum.

Answer 4

Costal cartilage of each true rib is connected directly to sternum. Costal cartilage of each false rib is connected to the cartilage of rib above and then to the sternum (thus indirectly connected to sternum ). Upper seven pairs of ribs are true ribs. Next three pairs of ribs are false ribs. The last two piars of ribs are floating ribs (not connected to sternum).
False ribs include ribs 8-12. These ribs do not have costal cartilage that directly connects them to the sternum. Ribs 8-10 have costal cartilage that connect to the costal cartilage for rib 7, which then goes to the sternum. Ribs 11 and 12 do not have any costal cartilage and do not connect to the sternum at all, which makes them floating ribs. Ribs 11 and 12 are considered both floating ribs and false ribs.

Answer 5

The difference between them is that false (floating) ribs are not attached to the sternum underneath. I am studying veterinary nursing, and we just did a horse practicum.

Answer 6

A true rib is a rib that connects directly to the sternum; a false rib, also called a floating rib, connect to a long piece of cartilage that then connects to the sternum.

Answer 7

True ribs are vertebrosternal ribs
False ribs are vertebrochondral ribs
Floating ribs are vertebral ribs

Answer 8

The scientific name for true ribs is vertebrosternal ribs (ribs 1-7), and for false ribs it is vertebrochondral ribs (ribs 8-10) and vertebral ribs (ribs 11-12).

Answer 9

because they are not nature ribs
