- ATrue
- BFalse
13There are [blank_start]24[blank_end] ribs in the human body, divided into two sets of [blank_start]12[blank_end]. Each one is attached by [blank_start]cartilage[blank_end] at the back to the thoracic vertebrae. The first upper [blank_start]seven[blank_end] ribs are known as “ true ribs” and are directly attached by cartilage to the sternum (breastbone). The remaining pairs of ribs are known as ‘[blank_start]false[blank_end] ribs’. The eighth, ninth and tenth ribs are also attached to the sternum but not directly. The eleventh and twelfth ribs are called “[blank_start]floating[blank_end] ribs” as they are not directly attached to the sternum. Some people are missing these ribs, while others may have an extra set.
