What are the names of the ribs that don't connect to the sternum?
The ribs that don't connect to the sternum are known as floating ribs. There are two pairs of floating ribs, specifically the 11th and 12th pairs of ribs. Unlike true ribs, which attach directly to the sternum, and false ribs, which are indirectly connected, floating ribs are only attached to the vertebrae in the back and do not have any anterior connection. This anatomical feature provides flexibility and protection to the lower back.

Floating ribs are the last two pairs of ribs in the human ribcage, specifically the 11th and 12th ribs.

This anatomical feature allows for greater flexibility and movement in the lower back and abdomen.
What is the difference between the 3 different types of ribs?
The three types of ribs are true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. True ribs (ribs 1-7) are directly attached to the sternum via costal cartilage. False ribs (ribs 8-10) are indirectly connected to the sternum through the cartilage of the ribs above them, while floating ribs (ribs 11-12) do not attach to the sternum at all, ending in the muscle of the abdominal wall. This anatomical arrangement provides structural support and flexibility to the thoracic cavity.
