Question

How many false ribs present in Human being:

• A. 6
• B. 4
• C. 8
• D. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is A 6

There are 3 kinds of ribs in the human body -

• Seven ribs which connect directly to the sternum (1-7)
  
• Three ribs which connect to the costal cartilages of the rib above (8-10), false ribs.
  
• Two floating ribs which connect only at the back (11&12)
  

Thus the total number of false ribs are 6 i.e. three on each side.

So the correct option is '6'.
