The first seven ribs which connect with the thoracic vertebrae your back and with the sternum in the front are?
These are called true ribs. They each have their own cartilage connection to the sternum.
What Ribs are attach individually to the sternum by way of the coastal cartilage?
Ribs 8 to 10 are attached individually to the sternum by way of the costal cartilage. Ribs 1 to 7 are attached directly to the sternum, while ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs without any attachment to the sternum.
Which type of connective tissue is found in the trachea and between the ribs and sternum?
The type of connective tissue found in the trachea and between the ribs and sternum is hyaline cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is a smooth and flexible type of connective tissue that provides support and reduces friction between bones.
Ribs are attached anteriorly to?

Why are two ribs not connected to the sternum?
False ribs are connected via costal cartilage
What ribs do not articulate with the sternum?

Are floating ribs false ribs?
Floating ribs are a type of false ribs. False ribs are ribs that do not directly attach to the sternum through cartilage, and they include both floating ribs (ribs 11-12) and ribs 8-10, which are attached to the sternum indirectly through cartilage.
Are false ribs attached to coastal cartilage?
Yes, false ribs are still attached to coastal cartilages. Floating ribs aren't.
