**RIB CAGE**

**DIRECTIONS**: Answer the following questions about the ribs.

48. How many **TOTAL** rib pairs comprise the thoracic cage? ___________

49. How many **TRUE** rib pairs comprise the thoracic cage? ___________

50. How many **FALSE** rib pairs comprise the thoracic cage? ___________

51. Do the **TRUE** rib pairs or **FALSE** rib pairs (Circle one) attach directly to the sternum via the costal cartilage?

By understanding the structure of the vertebral column and the rib cage, students can gain a detailed insight into the human skeletal system.
