Answer 1

The ribs are connected to the sternum with a strong, somewhat flexible material called cartilage. The rib cage help protects the organs in the chest, such as the heart and lungs, from damage.

Answer 2

• The sternum is joined to the ribs by cartilage, which is a strong but flexible substance.
• The rib cage protects the heart and lungs, as well as other organs in the chest, from injury.

• Rib cage is a box-like structure made by ribs, which are long curving bones.
• Protection, support, and breathing are all vital roles of the rib cage. The heart and lungs are enclosed and protected by it.

• The thoracic cage is a semi-rigid bony and cartilaginous structure that surrounds the thoracic cavity and supports the shoulder girdle in humans.
• The sternum (together with the manubrium and xiphoid process) and the 12 thoracic vertebrae that articulate with the ribs make up the normal human thoracic cage.
• The thoracic cage, along with the skin, fascia, and muscles that surround it, forms the thoracic wall and serves as a point of attachment for extrinsic skeletal muscles of the neck, upper limbs, upper abdomen, and back.
