• The ribcage protects the heart and the lungs.

More information :

ʀɪʙᴄᴀɢᴇ :

• Ribs are flexible, strong and curved bones in the chest region of our body.

• They are arranged in pairs, one on each side.

• Each rib is attached at the back to the back bone in the front of the sternum on breast bone. This forms a cage - like structure.

• This cage - like bony covering around the organs in the upper part of the body cage is called the ribcage.

• The ribcage protects the heart and the lungs.

• The last two pairs of ribs are joined only to the backbone and not to the breast bone in the front. They are called floating ribs.
