Ribs 11 and 12 do not attach anteriorly to the sternum.
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!
Yes, the first seven pairs of ribs are considered false ribs because they do not attach directly to the sternum but rather either indirectly or not at all. They connect to the sternum through cartilage or do not connect at all in the case of floating ribs.
They are atached to your spine and they make a cage around your organe-to protect them & cover them.
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.
In the anterior position (front), the ribs connect to the sternum (breast bone) and in the posterior position (back), the vertebrae. There are free ribs that do not attach at the sternum, they just attach at the vertebrae.
The sternum.

There are twelve pair of ribs. The first seven ribs are true ribs because they have direct attachment to the sternum. An additional three pair of ribs have indirect attachment to the sternum meaning that they attach to other structures that attach to the sternum. The last two ribs are called floating ribs because they do not attach to the sternum at all. Because the floating ribs do not attach to the sternum they are prone to injury.
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.
All attach to a vertebra, The upper 6 also attach to the sternum, the bottom 6 just "float".
In the anterior position (front), the ribs connect to the sternum (breast bone) and in the posterior position (back), the vertebrae. There are free ribs that do not attach at the sternum, they just attach at the vertebrae.
Ribs are classified according to their attachment to the sternum. The first seven pairs of ribs attach directly to the sternum and are called true ribs. Ribs 8-10 have cartilage that attaches to the cartilage of the seventh rib and are called false ribs. The eleventh and twelfth ribs do not attach to the sternum and are called floating ribs.
Ribs 11 and 12 are known as floating ribs because they do not attach to the sternum like the other ribs do. Instead, they are only connected to the vertebrae in the back, giving them a floating or free-end appearance.
because it can so dont ask
Horses have 18 pairs of ribs, but the first pair are classified as "true" because they attach directly to the sternum. The remaining 16 pairs are considered "false" ribs because they do not directly attach to the sternum, instead connecting to the costal cartilage of the 8th rib.
