What is a floating rib?

Floating ribs are four atypical ribs (two lowermost pairs, XI-XII) in the human ribcage. They are called so because they are attached to the vertebrae only, and not to the sternum or cartilage coming off of the sternum. Some people are missing one of the two pairs. Others have a third pair. Most, however, possess only two pairs. Their position can be permanently altered by a form of body modification called tightlacing, which uses a corset to compress and move the ribs.

Most ribs are attached anteriorly to the?

Thoracic cage thoracic cage is false. all ribs connect to the sternum either directly or indirectly (coastal cartilages connect some ribs to sternum. Eh, everyone here is off so far. This is how it works. The problem is the question, because none of the ribs connect anteriorly, but are attached by use of coastal cartilage. None of the ribs connect directly to the sternum, but the only possible answer to this question would be sternum anyway, simply because of the word "anterior." Now posteriorly ALL ribs, true and false alike, attach to the vertebral column. Actually, according to our text book in A & P, it is Thoracic cage!
