Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each true rib connects to its own strip of costal cartilage, which in turn connects to the sternum. Ribs 8-12 are called the false ribs. Ribs 8, 9, and 10 do connect to the sternum, but the costal cartilage of each of these ribs connects to the costal cartilage of the rib above it, rather than directly to the sternum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The false ribs are the ribs that indirectly articulate with the sternum, as their costal cartilages connect with the seventh costal cartilage; by the costochondral joint; They are the eighth, ninth, and tenth ribs.
