Q

classification of ribs (typical/atypical)

A

typical (3-9): head, neck, tubercle, angle, shaft
atypical: 1 (greatest curve, shortest, no angle/groove, 1 articular facet); 2 (like 1, not as flat, 2 articular facets); 10 (only 1 articular facet); 11/12 (no neck/tubercle, 1 articular facet, no costotransverse joint)
