Seven pairs are called true ribs. Each rib is attached to the breastbone in the front and curves around to join on to one of the vertebrae that make up the backbone via a strip of costal cartilage.

There are three pairs of false ribs. These are attached to vertebrae but are not linked to the breastbone. Instead, each rib is attached to the rib above it by cartilage.

There are two pairs of floating ribs. These are attached only to the vertebrae of the backbone.

All ribs are fragile but the floating ribs are especially fragile because these are attached only to the vertebrae of the backbone.

True ribs are ribs that are connected both at the back of the spine and at the sternum in front. false or floating ribs are not connected at the front which gives them less support and thus more easy to fracture.

the ability of the kidneys to remove molecules from the blood plasma by excreting them in the urine is known as Glomerular filtration. one can estimate the efficiency of Glomerular by GFR Glomerular filtration rate

Measuring measured GFR (mGFR) is a difficult and time-consuming method that is not practicable for patients or doctors, making it difficult to obtain an accurate GFR level. Because of this, medical experts utilise a formula to determine GFR (eGFR). For diagnosing renal disease, which frequently has no symptoms until right before the kidneys fail, accurate estimates of GFR are crucial. A straightforward blood test that evaluates your creatinine levels is the typical method for estimating GFR. The regular breakdown of muscle tissue and the digestion of food protein both produce creatinine, a waste product. In addition to CKD, other factors such as food, muscle mass, or the weight of your muscles, malnutrition, and other chronic conditions can also have an impact on creatinine levels.
