We just learned about the Radiate Ligament of Head of Rib that connects the ribs to the spine.
Another connective tissue in the body is the Superior Costotransverse Ligament.
This is a piece of tissue that connects the rib to the part of a vertebrae called the Transverse Process.
The transverse process sticks out from the back of the vertebrae in your spine, and the rib is tied to it by this ligament.
