The ribs are attached at the thoracic region of the spinal column. There are twelve vertebra that make up the thoracic spine. Which can be referred to as T1, the top of the thoracic spine through the bottom of the thoracic spine T12 or T1 - T12.

The twelve pair of human ribs are classified as True ribs, False ribs and Floating ribs depending on the ribs pair location on the thoracic spine.
