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.
