Men and women have the same number of ribs - there are twelve pairs extending from the spine to the breastbone. They grow larger from the top to the seventh rib, then decrease from there to the twelfth. Ribs six through ten are all connected to the breastbone by a common cartilage. The bottom two are called 'floaters' as they are not connected to the breastbone at all.
