The ribs play a solo role in protecting the internal organs from damage [underneath the rib cage]. They also give structure to the body, as all bones do.
The rib cage expands because of ductile cartilage during external respiration.
Protects the heart and lungs. the function of the ribs is to protect their vital organs.
two main funstions:
helps you breatthe cos the intercostal muscels and the diaphragm use the ribs to create changes in pressure in the lungs which result in you breathing
and for protection, as they give a vage like structure which surrounds the upper body and all its vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, etc
Your ribs protect the organs in your chest, e.g your heart.
Ribs are used to protect are vital organs like the lungs and heart
to protect interior organs
The primary function if the ribcage is to protect the internal vital organs (heart & lungs) and to provide support for the structure of your body. Think of your position or posture if there were no ribs in the torso...
The Ribs primary function is to protect the thoracic viscera, or the heart and lungs. The pelvis' main function is to protect the pelvic viscera
Humans normally have 14 true ribs on the front of their bodies, and 10 false ribs. True ribs are attached directly to the sternum (breastbone) at the front of the body, and the false ribs are not.
The tenth pair of ribs are the lowest true ribs. The 11th and 12th ribs, below the 10th, are called the floating ribs
To add extra support, as well as an anchor, for the ribs.

protecting your friggen organs! whatcha think?

upper ribs
False ribs are not attached to the sternum but only to the vertebrae of the spinal column. Their function is the same as the true ribs and that is protection of the heart, lungs, liver, spleen and part of the intestines.

it is a section of cartilage that joins the ribs, also called the solarplex. it allows for your rib cage to expand during breathing
The ribs are broken and not in their normal place in the body.
it is what holds your ribs and it is very important part of your body because if you pass out or suffocate and they do CPR and they break the bottom tip of the sternum you will eventually die!
Ribs?
it gives the ventral side of the ribs support
