One set, the <b>dorsal ribs</b>, are found in the dividing septum between the upper and lower parts of the main muscle segments, projecting roughly sideways from the vertebral column. The second set, the <b>ventral ribs</b> arise from the vertebral column just below the dorsal ribs, and enclose the lower body, often joining at the tips. Not all species possess both types of rib, with the dorsal ribs being most commonly absent. <a href="/wiki/Shark" title="Shark">Sharks</a>, for example, have no ventral ribs, and only very short dorsal ribs. In some <a href="/wiki/Teleost" title="Teleost">teleosts</a>, there may be additional rib-like bones within the muscle mass.<sup id="cite_ref-VB_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-VB-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Tetrapod" title="Tetrapod">Tetrapods</a>, however, only ever have a single set of ribs which are probably <a href="/wiki/Homology_(biology)" title="Homology (biology)">homologous</a> with the dorsal ribs of fishes. In the earlier <a href="/wiki/Tetrapodomorph" class="mw-redirect" title="Tetrapodomorph">choanates</a>, every vertebra bore a pair of ribs, although those on the <a href="/wiki/Thoracic_vertebra" class="mw-redirect" title="Thoracic vertebra">thoracic vertebrae</a> are typically the longest.
