The ribs articulate with the (a) thoracic vertebrae.

There exists 12 pairs of ribs. Each rib is a thin flat bone attached dorsally to the vertebral column as well as ventrally to the sternum.

First seven pairs of ribs are known as 'true ribs'. They articulate with the thoracic vertebrae dorsally and are ventrally attached to the sternum by means of of hyaline cartilage.

The 8th, 9th as well as 10th pairs of ribs do not articulate directly with the sternum but unite with the 7th rib with the support of hyaline cartilage. These are called 'false ribs'.

Remaining two pairs i.e. the 11th and 12th pairs of ribs are not attached ventrally and are thus, termed as 'floating ribs'.
