None!

You are thinking of the external intercostal muscle which attaches to the *bone* of the ribs. However, at the cartilage of the rib the muscular portion is replaced by the external intercostal *membrane.*

Muscles produce force on their attachments, causing piezoelectric force which eventually forms the bony landmarks you learn in anatomy lab.

1. The intercostal muscles help move and make up the wall of the chest and are located between the ribs. These muscle groups include the external intercostal muscles and the internal intercostal muscles.

2. The pectoralis minor muscle is the smaller of the two sets of muscles that connect the bones of the chest (including the ribs) to the shoulder and upper arm and cover the intercostals.

3. The origins of the diaphragm are found along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and the inferior border of the ribs and sternum.

How are the ribs classified on the basis of their attachment to the sternum?

Ribs are classified according to their attachment to the sternum. The first seven pairs of ribs attach directly to the sternum and are called true ribs. Ribs 8-10 have cartilage that attaches to the cartilage of the seventh rib and are called false ribs. The eleventh and twelfth ribs do not attach to the sternum and are called floating ribs.
