what are floating ribs?
Answers
Answer:
one member of the two lowest pairs of ribs, which are attached neither to the sternum nor to the cartilages of other ribs.
Explanation:
Ribs 8–10 are attached indirectly to the sternum. For these ribs, the costal cartilage of each attaches to the cartilage of the next higher rib. The last false ribs (11–12) are also called floating (vertebral) ribs, because these ribs do not attach to the sternum at all.

Answer:
The phrase floating rib or vertebral rib refers to the two lowermost, the eleventh and twelfth rib pairs; so-called because they are attached only to the vertebrae–and not to the sternum or cartilage of the sternum.
