Function of skull:
The main function of the bones of the skull along with the surrounded meninges, is to provide protection and structure. Protection to the brain (cerebellum, cerebrum, brainstem) and orbits of the eyes. Structurally it provides an anchor for tendinous and muscular attachments of the muscles of the scalp and face.
Function of ribs:
The rib cage protects the organs in the thoracic cavity, assists in respiration, and provides support for the upper extremities. During inspiration the ribs are elevated, and during expiration the ribs are depressed. 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.
