Rare Body Features Most People Don't Have

We might all look more or less the same, but there are certain rare body features that few people across the globe have. What are they? From extra body parts to heightened senses, these are some of the rarest body features found in the world.

Most people have 12 pairs of rib bones equaling 24 total ribs. However, there's a chance that some people actually have 25 ribs. One in 200 people have a rare body feature that's called a cervical rib. According to an article from the Department of Surgery at New York’s Flushing Hospital,

"A cervical rib is present at birth and it forms above the first rib, growing at the base of the neck, just above the collarbone. You can have a cervical rib on the right, left, or both sides."

It's possible you have one and don't even know it.

This is because this extra rib doesn't always form completely and may just be, quote, "a thin strand of tissue fibers" that wouldn't even be present on an x-ray.

It may sound concerning, but cervical ribs are usually no big deal. If the rib puts pressure on blood vessels and nerves — a condition called thoracic outlet syndrome — it can be painful. Thankfully, it's treatable. Keep watching to see more Rare Body Features Most People Don't Have!
