in a major car accident i was in i think my right side rib 6? was broken thereby puncturing one of my lungs. sounds like it was a true rib, no wonder it took 4 days of being on a ventilator b4 i took a breath on my own.

I knew this one as one of my crazy relatives got one or both (can’t remember) of her floating ribs removed to make her waist smaller. True story. Can’t choose your relatives hey!

Sesamoid bones are bones which you are not born with, but develop in life. The largest of these is the patella or knee cap. You "grow" a knee cap around 18 months old while crawling and learning to walk. Sesamoid bones can also be known as true bones, floating, and false bones.

This question to those not knowing about the ribs is confusing! Luckily I had the knowledge but it's not asked in a way one can understand

someone i know had broken 16 ribs but medical report does not explain this to know if any area surrounding or connected could be damaged as well.

Player #31796263, didn’t know that, but should be the other way around having that Eve was made out of Adam’s ribs ;) Is this why only count only 11 pairs of ribs on the photo? It’s a female skeleton? I knew about the floating ones but not the false ribs. I don’t think the term false is accurate here, they should have chosen another name.

Is there extra commas in this question? “What types of bones, in the human body, ....”. Then seeing the true, false I had no idea what was being asked... shouldn’t it be “What types of bones in the human body can be...”. ObviousIy I had no idea that the ribs have these types!

ribs are not free floating bones! your knee cap is the prime example

Player #12870971, They are small specks in your vision , the question specified bones , not dead bodies in rivers

Uninitialized, I have re-read the question,and disagree . To fix it you should have gone to school.
