What type of ribs pairs 11-12 that connect to the vertebrae in the back but are free of any attachment in the front is known as what?
The rib pairs that attach to the back vertebrae but are not connected to the sternum are known as floating ribs. In human anatomy, the 11th and 12th rib pairs are termed floating ribs. There are 12 pairs of ribs. The floating ribs are the lowest two rib pairs that are also called false ribs.
How are thoracic vertebrae 11 and 12 different from all the other thoracic vertebrae?
Thoracic vertebrae 11 and 12 are unique because they only have one costal facet on each side for articulating with ribs (compared to two on each side in other thoracic vertebrae). They also lack a transverse costal facet on their transverse process.
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.

How many ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae and how many with the sternum?
There are 12 pairs of ribs that articulate with the thoracic vertebrae, one per vertebra. The upper 7 pairs of ribs articulate directly with the sternum, either via their own costal cartilage or the cartilage of the rib above. Ribs 8-10 articulate indirectly with the sternum through a shared cartilage, while ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs that do not connect to the sternum.
