The 1st rib articulates primarily with the first thoracic vertebra at the costovertebral joint. Additionally, it forms a joint with the manubrium of the sternum at the sternocostal joint. This rib is unique in its anatomy and plays a critical role in the thoracic structure and function.

Which anatomical structure is located directly below the 7th rib"?
The anatomical structure located directly below the 7th rib is the 7th intercostal space. The intercostal spaces are the spaces between adjacent ribs, with each space being numbered according to the rib above it. In this case, the 7th intercostal space is located below the 7th rib and above the 8th rib.

Why is there no transverse coastal facets on the last two thoracic vertebrae?
The simplest answer is because the 11th and 12th ribs (the last two) don't articulate with the transverse process of their corresponding vertebrae. Thus, transverse coastal facets are not needed.
How any ribs articulate directly or indirectly with the sternum?
In humans, there are 12 pairs of ribs. The first seven pairs, known as "true ribs," articulate directly with the sternum via costal cartilages. The 8th to 10th pairs, called "false ribs," articulate indirectly through the costal cartilage of the rib above. The 11th and 12th pairs, known as "floating ribs," do not articulate with the sternum at all.
