There are 12 pairs of ribs. Each rib is a thin flat bone connected dorsally to the vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum. Last 2 pairs ( 
and 
) of ribs are not connected ventrally and are therefore, called floating ribs.
and Scapula is a large triangular flat bone situated in the dorsal part of the thorax between the second and the seventh ribs. The dorsal, flat, triangular body of scapula has a slightly elevated ridge called the spine which projects as a flat, expanded process called the acromion. The clavicle (collar bone) articulates with this.
Below the acromion is a depression called the glenoid cavity which articulates with the head of the humerus to form the shoulder joint
