Each rib is a curved, flattened bone that contributes to the wall of the thorax. The ribs articulate posteriorly with the T1\u2013T12 thoracic vertebrae, and most attach anteriorly via their costal cartilages to the sternum. There are 12 pairs of ribs. The ribs are numbered 1\u201312 in accordance with the thoracic vertebrae.

The bony ribs do not extend anteriorly completely around to the sternum. Instead, each rib ends in a costal cartilage<\/strong>. These cartilages are made of hyaline cartilage and can extend for several inches. Most ribs are then attached, either directly or indirectly, to the sternum via their costal cartilage (Picture 2). The ribs are classified into three groups based on their relationship to the sternum. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
