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'.

Sveta_85 [38]
<span>Warmer summertime temperatures in the northern hemisphere are due partly to the tilt of the earth's axis around the sun when it is at its lowest point. The northern hemisphere has usually shorter hours in the day and longer hours in the night that is why it always happen during the winter. Because the sun is a bit far away from these islands, people living in this area will expect colder atmosphere.

Most cells fall within the range of 5-20 microns. What factors keep the size of the cell within these boundaries?
Tema [17]

Answer: Cytoplasm and organelles

Explanation:

Normally, a cell cannot attain a size greater than 20 microns due to the limits imposed by the size inter-relationships of its components. For example, there is a relationship between the amount of nuclear material and the size of a cell; this limits cells to a size where there is an optimal proportion of nuclear material to the rest of the cell.
