You kept is simple and to the point.. no personal history... Thank you . Very well explained.
Very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome! Good luck with your studies!
Good
Very important
We agree!
Is the costal cartilage, flexible? If so, how flexible are they? When a person lays on their back, is that what I'm seeing when the ribs appear to stick out on each side of the upper abdomen? Thanks!
Costal cartilage is made of hyaline cartilage which has a little flexibility. The costal cartilage as you can see in the video, attaches both the false and true ribs to the sternum. In your description you can see both cartilage and bone depending on the amount of tissue covering the torso.
I always wondered when CPR videos say chest compressions should be at least 2 inches deep, like how does that not immediately break ribs? But it's because of this cartilage, very interesting
Are the light brown features COSTAL cartilage?
Yes, that is costal cartilage, and remember it is hyaline cartilage (remember all that fun connective tissue histology!) It connects the ribs to the sternum.

Are you a teacher? Medical professional?
@@abgirl2729 Not yet! I manage an anatomy lab, we do have several medical doctors, PAs and Phds on staff.
@@ANATOMYMVC101102 Oh wow. That is impressive.
Is there a way to contact you directly?
12 true ribs
Hi Bhoomi, there are 7 true rights on the right and then another 7 true ribs on the left for a total of 14 true ribs. The first rib is often forgotten when doing these counts because it articulates with the manubrium only but it is still there. The 8th, 9th, and 10th ribs share the same cartilage as the 7th, thus making them "false" ribs. Good luck on your studies!
