Cervical ribs are extra ribs that grow closest to the neck. They occur in between one in 200 and one in 500 people. Most people will never know they have one, and will have no symptoms. A few people will have symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome; this pain or numbness in the arm happens when blood vessels or nerves are compressed by the extra rib.
Cervical ribs are extra ribs that develop in the neck region, typically arising from the seventh cervical vertebra. They are considered a rare congenital anomaly and can be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as pain or numbness in the shoulder or arm due to compression of nearby structures. In some cases, cervical ribs may also be associated with other medical conditions such as thoracic outlet syndrome.

The thoracic vertebra
Do men have more ribs than women?
No. This is an old "wives tale". Males have the same number as females: 12 pairs. Some times you have additional pair of rib, that is attached to last cervical vertebra. Then it is called as cervical rib. Cervical rib can be found in both the sexes.
What is the anterior neck muscle which attaches to the ribs is?
The scalenus anterior and the scalenus medius all insert into the first rib (the scalenus posterior inserts into the second rib). They originate from cervical vertebrae two to cervical vertebrae seven (C2 - C7). Each of the scalene muscles has several points of origin, which look like fingers from your spine.
How many rib bones does the body have?
Your body have 12 pairs of rib bones on either side. First rib is horizontal. Then lower ones go on getting more and more oblique. Such 7 pairs of ribs are attached to Manubrium sterni and sternum bone. Eighths is attached to seventh andninthis attached to eighth. Tenth is attached to ninth. Eleventh andtwelfthare flow-ate ribs. First is attached to Manubrium sterni and second to junction of Manubrium sterni with sternum. Some times there is extra pair of rib is there attached to last cervical vertebra called as cervical rib.
Mild evidence of osteophytic lipping is noted at C5 and C6 levels no evidence of cervical spondylosis or cervical ribs?
There are small bony growths (osteophytes) at the C5 and C6 levels, indicating early signs of degenerative changes in the neck vertebrae. However, there is no significant evidence of cervical spondylosis (degenerative disc disease) or abnormal cervical ribs. Monitoring and conservative management may be recommended to address any symptoms or prevent further progression.
What is meant by no cervical ribs present?
Cervical ribs can not exist in normal body. No 'cervical ribs PRESENT' is a good news! A cervical rib can interfere with blood flow in the upper extremities.

Which type of vertebra has facets that articulate with the tubercle of the ribs?

What is gorilla rib in some humans?
The term "Gorilla rib" is used to describe a Lumbar rib. Most humans only have ribs bilaterally attached to their 12 thoracic vertebra but a number of variations exist with cervical ribs, lumbar ribs and even so called sacral ribs. Approximately 8% of humans have a extra rib attached to their lumbar vertebra which also occurs in some types of gorillas
Where do the scalenes originate?
They originate from the transverse processes from the cervical vertebrae of C2 to C7 and insert onto the first and second ribs. Thus they are called the lateral vertebral muscles.
