Explanation:

True ribs (Ribs 1 - 7) are directly attached to the sternum by costal cartilages, so they are called vertebrosternal. False non - floating ribs (Ribs 8 - 10) attach to the costal cartilage of the rib above and are vertebrochondral. Floating ribs (Ribs 11 - 12) only attach to the vertebrae and are vertebral.

Answer:

Ribs 1 - 7 (True Ribs): vertebrosternal
Ribs 8 - 10 (False, non floating): vertebrochondral
Ribs 11 - 12 (Floating): vertebral
