It seems that some things vary and others do not. For example, has a surgeon ever opened someone up and found that they had no ASM? I've never heard of that.

The top side of the rib gets a lot of attention on these forums and at any TOS page. I never hear anything about the underside. I don't even know for certain that the first and 2nd rib are connected by intercostals. Are they?
