Describe the structure of the

rib cage in a man.

The ribs are the bony framework of the thoracic cavity. The ribs form the main structure of the thoracic cage protecting the thoracic organs, however their main function is to aid respiration. There are twelve pairs of ribs. Each rib articulates posteriorly with two thoracic vertebrae by the costovertebral joint.
