★ Additional Information ★
ʀɪʙᴄᴀɢᴇ :
The Ribs are thin, flat, curved bones that form the Ribcage. There are 12 pairs of ribs that curve around from the spine to the front of the body. The ribs are connected by cartilage to the flat breastbone (Sternum), which is about 12-15 centimetres long. The ribcage is flexible, which is necessary during breathing.
- The first seven pairs of ribs are attached directly to the breastbone. These are known as True ribs.
- The eighth, ninth and tenth pairs of ribs are attached to the lowest true rib. These are known as False rib.
- The last two pairs of ribs are not attached to the sternum or to the lowest true rib. These are only attached to the spine. They are called Floating ribs.
Function
- The ribs are from a protective cage around the heart and lungs.
