Out of 'X' pairs of ribs in humans only 'Y' pairs are true ribs. Select the option that correctly represents values of X and Y and provides their explanation.

  1. X = 12, Y = 5; True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and sternum on the two ends
  2. X = 24, Y = 2; The true ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side
  3. X = 24, Y = 12; True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side
  4. X = 12, Y = 7; True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum

Answer

(4) X = 12, Y = 7; True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum

Solution

As per NCERT, there are 12 pairs of ribs ⇒ X = 12.

The first seven pairs are called true ribs; dorsally they are attached to the thoracic vertebrae and ventrally connected to the sternum with the help of hyaline cartilage ⇒ Y = 7.

Answer: (4)

Osteoporosis, an age-related disease of skeletal system, may occur due to

  1. immune disorder affecting neuromuscular junction leading to fatigue
  2. high concentration of Ca++ and Na+
  3. decreased level of estrogen
  4. accumulation of uric acid leading to inflammation of joints.

Sliding filament theory can be best explained as

  1. actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide past each other
  2. when myofilaments slide past each other, myosin filaments shorten while actin filaments do not shorten
  3. when myofilaments slide past each other actin filaments shorten while myosin filaments do not shorten
  4. actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide past each other.
