Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The superior seven pairs of ribs are connected to the sternum by their individual costal cartilages. These are considered true ribs. Pairs eight through twelve are considered false ribs because they do not have individual costal cartilages connecting them to the sternum. Of the false ribs, pairs eight through ten share a costal cartilage to connect to the sternum. Pairs eleven and twelve are considered to be false, floating ribs because they are not connected to the sternum. The costal cartilages are composed of hyaline cartilage connective tissue.
