Answer to Question 1

1. True (vertebrosternal) ribs, which include the upper ribs (1-7), all of which are directly attached to the sternum.

2. False (vertebrochondral) ribs, which include ribs 8, 9, and 10, and are attached to the sternum through cartilage.

3. Floating (vertebral) ribs (ribs 11 and 12), which articulate only with the vertebral column.

Answer to Question 2

The three major structures of respiration are:

1. Bony thorax, which contains the vertebrae, vertebral column, ribs, pectoral girdle, sternum, and pelvic girdle.

2. Visceral thorax, which contains the respiratory passageway, lungs, and the mediastinum.

3. Muscles of respiration, which contain the diaphragm, accessory muscles of inspiration, accessory muscles of expiration, and muscles of postural control.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
