: : Need to settle a little dispute here. How many ribs does a man have and how many ribs does a woman have???
Its true that man and woman have the smae number of ribs but there are somo malformations that can cause an extra rib . It is often located upside the normal first rib and can extrangulate some nerves and vessels causing pain.
