Untitled[edit]

Somebody more knowledgeable than me needs to re-edit this page, which has been the victim of vandalism. See references to Butter Toast and Gorgons! C.J.

please tell me the mean of rib in ribosom

I think you mean ribosome. Assuming you're serious, that is. --Dcfleck 00:59, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)

I'm not sure who wrote this, but in "The first rib has a shaft that is wide and nearly horizontal, and has the shapest curve of the seven true ribs. Its head has a single facet to articulate with the first thoracic vertebra (T1)." do you mean it has the *sharpest* curve?

regeneration[edit]

is it true that when a rib is surgically removed it grows back?? the human skeleton article says it is, thought if it is it should be mentioned. i thought that the liver was the only thing we could regenerate from scratch. how starfish like we are. mastodon 00:53, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is the same rib, but in a new position. The ribs been brokken/cut and get a new position.Haabet 23:19, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Number of Ribs[edit]

So do men actually have 1 few rib than women?

No, the ribs of men are longer and thicker than womens ribs

Correction made: Human has 24 ribs (12 on each side).

I only count 11 sets of ribs on the illustration. Shouldn't the entry at least have an anatomically correct picture?

Try clicking the picture to see it bigger - there are 12 on each side, though it fooled me too at first :) --Huffers 23:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Naming[edit]

Why are the first seven pairs of ribs known as true ribs? Why are ribs 8 - 12 known as false ribs? Why are ribs 11 and 12 known as floating ribs?

The first 7 ribs are attached directly to the sternum, the next 3 are attached not to the sternum, but to the 7th rib. As for the last two ribs, they are not attached to anything, hence "floating" ribs - Jack (talk) 00:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rib number 8 is the first false rib because it is a cartilidge to cartilidge bond. I have had rib cartilidge ripped apart from my sternum and now rib 8,9,10,11 are absolutely not connected to the sternum . It was done by a chiropractor, BEWARE! I will not disclose his name. I am only one known to have such. MAYO CLINIC AND JOHNS Hopkins information was such, I had surgery to remove cartilidge and they removed segment of 8th rib at spine in back hecause I am an artist and right handed, my shoulderblade hit the rib with every stroke of my brush. Also elevator rides will move my ribs and they move independantly of each other. They removed 6 inches of rib 11 as they thought it might be the one causeing most movement. I have had much experience with ribs and it has been my sole thought how to get past this. No doctors have any reference to look opon to treat this. Therefore, I am left to become the RIB MASTER. I had previously wanted to be a MASTER in the Arts. I will be thrilled to learn to cope or get this fixd. Until then, I shall try all from the sublime to the ridiculous. 5 years and some change has been spent in a way that no one should ever have to endure. I am glad to share my case info with any DR. that is interested. On top of this crazy fluke, my doctor who was the most informed doctor I had the pleasure and good fortune to find, is no longer around. I challenge any Doctor or student of medicine to solve this the problem of all problems, at least it seems that way when it hurts to breathe! I am quite serious when I say I am only one, in Baltimore, the #1 diagnostician knew in 25 years 2 cases with less damage and more trauma force, one in car accident and another who fell off bridge onto some type of concrete platform. A MAN'S HANDS were before me considered not remotely capable of this damage! SSadly my case is proof otherwise! When we are desparate and in pain, we will get down to trying just about anything, and I was leary of Chiropractors. So I urge anyone with rib problems to truly consider even if their pain is bad, it can get worse! I am in full faith that things can get better as well. I am along a path untraveled and have been somewhat of a pioneer. I would think any doctor reading this understands just how big the gap is in the medical world where my type injury is concerned. I do believe this could make a difference in lives to come and should not be lost to medical history, if something could be learned or someone suffering out there can be helped, Id think my suffering was not for nothing. Any other rib info out there, or debate, Id love it! I am thirsty for knowledge and happy to share what I know!

Vertebrate[edit]

I changed "Vertebrate" to "Tetrapod" in the second sentence, because none of the fish breath and they are all vertebrates. According to the Vertabrate and Fish articles, fish are about 50% of all Vertabrates. Thus the original sentence was clearly wrong. Nick Beeson (talk) 18:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are human ribs regenerative?[edit]

I have heard that human ribs are capable of regenerating, but it does not say anywhere in the article about that, so can somebody please do some research upon that and cite these sources?

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Vertebrosternal rib be merged into Rib. I think that the content in the Vertebrosternal rib article can easily be explained in the context of Rib, and the Rib article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Vertebrosternal rib will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

button rib[edit]

Where should this be directed? I see from post 11 at http://community.tasteofhome.com/community_forums/f/29/p/650420/7560581.aspx that 31 January 2013 there was something about it:

From Wikipedia: Button ribs are flat, circular-shaped bones located at the sirloin end of the loin. They are not actually ribs, as they are not taken from the rib cage. The button ribs consist of the last four to six bones on the backbone; they do not have actual ribs connected to them. The meat on the button ribs consists of meat that covers each button and connects them together.

Can't find it though we should direct this somewhere for those not knowing about pork button or button bone or whatever. 174.92.134.246 (talk) 22:50, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
