What is the difference between true, false, and floating ribs?

A

True ribs = ribs 1-7, connect directly to the sternum by costal cartilage.
False ribs = ribs 8-10, connect indirectly to the sternum as the costal cartilage of ribs 8-10
fuses with the costal cartilage of rib 7.
Floating ribs = do not connect to the sternum

241
Q

As we look down the vertebral column, the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs get increasingly larger. What is the functional significance of this increase in size?

A

Weight bearing function. As the vertebral bodies transfer body weight to the hips and lower limbs, they must increase in size to support the increase in weight. The 5 lumbar vertebrae have the largest and thickest vertebral bodies as they bear most of the weight, supporting the weight of the head, neck, upper limbs and trunk.
