Vedclass · Answer

(C) In humans,there are $12$ pairs of ribs. $1.$ The first $7$ pairs are called true ribs because they are attached dorsally to the thoracic vertebrae and ventrally to the sternum with the help of hyaline cartilage. $2.$ The $8^{	ext{th}}$,$9^{	ext{th}}$,and $10^{	ext{th}}$ pairs of ribs are known as vertebrochondral (false) ribs. $3.$ These ribs do not articulate directly with the sternum but join the $7^{	ext{th}}$ rib with the help of hyaline cartilage. $4.$ The $11^{	ext{th}}$ and $12^{	ext{th}}$ pairs are floating ribs as they are not connected ventrally. Therefore,option $C$ is the correct statement.
