Answer:
The Anatomy of a Floating Rib
The first seven ribs attach directly to the sternum through cartilage that forms at the end of each rib. Others attach indirectly because they are attached to the cartilage of the rib above. The last two pairs of ribs at the very bottom of the rib cage do not attach to the sternum at all.

Answer:
The first seven pairs are attached directly to the sternum by costal cartilages and are called true ribs. The 8th, 9th, and 10th pairs—false ribs—do not join the sternum
