Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Rib pairs 11 and 12 are called floating ribs because they are not attached to the sternum.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ribs 2 through 7 move simultaneously about two axes (Figure 9-20). As each rib rotates about the axis of its neck, its sternal end rises and falls. This movement increases the anteroposterior thoracic diameter in what is commonly referred to as a pump handle-like motion.
