Question

Which is correct, in human body, anatomically?

• A. Collar Bone – 3 pair
• B. Salivary gland – 1 pair
• C. Cranial nerves – 10 pair
• D. Floating ribs – 2 pair

Answer 1

The correct option is D Floating ribs – 2 pair

There are two clavicles, one on the left and one on the right. The clavicle is the only long bone in the body that lies horizontally. So, there is one pair of collar bone present in humans.
There are three pairs of major salivary glands: the parotid glands, the submandibular glands, and the sublingual glands.
Cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that connects brain to different parts of your head, neck, and trunk.
There are 12 pairs of ribs in humans. First seven are true ribs as they are directly attached with sternum; 8th, 9th and 10th are false ribs as they do not articulate with sternum directly. Last 2 pairs are floating ribs as they are not connected with sternum.

So, the correct answer is- floating ribs(2 pair).
