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'.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Measurement (Count) of Cell Numbers:

1. Breed Method:

A known volume of microbial cell suspension (0.01 ml) is spread uniformly over a glass slide covering a specific area (1 sq. cm). The smear is then fixed by heating, stained, examined under oil immersion lens, and the cells are counted.

Customarily, cells in a few microscopic fields are counted because it is not possible to scan the entire area of smear. The counting of total number of cells is determined by calculating the total number of microscopic fields per one square cm. area of the smear.

Black carbon, tropospheric ozone, methane, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are all considered short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Because these pollutants have atmospheric lifetimes of only days to a decade and a half (compared to CO2 which can persist in the atmosphere for millennia) they are referred to as short-lived climate pollutants.
