Compare the articulation on the thoracic vertebrae of rib pairs 7 and 10?
Rib pair 7, also known as the true ribs, articulates directly with the sternum via its costal cartilage and has a typical articulation with the thoracic vertebrae at the facets on the bodies and transverse processes of T7. In contrast, rib pair 10 is considered a false rib because it does not attach directly to the sternum but instead connects to the costal cartilage of rib 9. This leads to differences in their articulations; rib 10 typically has a more variable articulation with T10, which may not include a full facet for the rib head due to its atypical connection. Overall, the structural differences reflect their functional roles in the rib cage.
