Out of 'X' pairs of ribs in humans only 'Y' pairs are true ribs. Select the option that correctly represents values of X and Y and provides their explanation :
Out of 'X' pairs of ribs in humans only 'Y' pairs are true ribs. Select the option that correctly represents values of X and Y and provides their explanation :
Updated On: Apr 21, 2025
- X = 12, Y = 7; True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum
- X = 12, Y = 5; True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and sternum on the two ends
- X = 24, Y = 7; True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side.
- X = 24, Y = 12; True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side.
