Cervical ribs can not exist in normal body. No 'cervical ribs PRESENT' is a good news! A cervical rib can interfere with blood flow in the upper extremities.
Cervical ribs are extra ribs that grow closest to the neck. They occur in between one in 200 and one in 500 people.
The cervical vertebrae do not have ribs attached.
The cervical and lumbar vertebrae do not articulate with the ribs. The thoracic vertebrae are the only ones that articulate with the ribs.
Cervical ribs are extra ribs that develop in the neck region, typically arising from the seventh cervical vertebra. They are considered a rare congenital anomaly and can be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as pain or numbness in the shoulder or arm due to compression of nearby structures. In some cases, cervical ribs may also be associated with other medical conditions such as thoracic outlet syndrome.
Intercostal musles are present between the ribs.

Cervical ribs are extra ribs that grow closest to the neck. They occur in between one in 200 and one in 500 people. Most people will never know they have one, and will have no symptoms. A few people will have symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome; this pain or numbness in the arm happens when blood vessels or nerves are compressed by the extra rib.
You mean the cervical vertebrae. ( C and v are close enough on the key board!) You have the 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck region. They are small in size. They all have foramen transversarium in them. They do not have the markings of the ribs on the body, like the thoracic vertebrae.
No. This is an old "wives tale". Males have the same number as females: 12 pairs. Some times you have additional pair of rib, that is attached to last cervical vertebra. Then it is called as cervical rib. Cervical rib can be found in both the sexes.
The scalenus anterior and the scalenus medius all insert into the first rib (the scalenus posterior inserts into the second rib). They originate from cervical vertebrae two to cervical vertebrae seven (C2 - C7). Each of the scalene muscles has several points of origin, which look like fingers from your spine.
The term "Gorilla rib" is used to describe a Lumbar rib. Most humans only have ribs bilaterally attached to their 12 thoracic vertebra but a number of variations exist with cervical ribs, lumbar ribs and even so called sacral ribs. Approximately 8% of humans have a extra rib attached to their lumbar vertebra which also occurs in some types of gorillas
