Vedclass · Answer

(D) In humans,there are $12$ pairs of ribs. $1$. The first $7$ pairs are called 'true ribs' or vertebrosternal ribs because they are attached dorsally to the thoracic vertebrae and ventrally to the sternum with the help of hyaline cartilage. $2$. The $8^{	ext{th}}$,$9^{	ext{th}}$,and $10^{	ext{th}}$ pairs of ribs do not articulate directly with the sternum but join the $7^{	ext{th}}$ rib with the help of hyaline cartilage; these are called vertebrochondral or 'false ribs'. $3$. The last $2$ pairs ($11^{	ext{th}}$ and $12^{	ext{th}}$) are not connected ventrally and are therefore called 'floating ribs' or vertebral ribs. Thus,option $D$ is the correct statement.
