Ribs 1, 2, 11 and 12 can be describes as âatypicalâ â they have features that are not common to all the ribs. Rib 1 is shorter and wider than the other ribs. It only has one facet on its head for articulation with its corresponding vertebrae (there isnât a thoracic vertebrae above it).

Many factors can make normal cells appear atypical, including inflammation and infection. Even normal aging can make cells appear abnormal.
