Rib
In
vertebrate anatomy,
ribs are the long curved
bones which form the
rib cage. In most
tetrapods, ribs surround the
chest, enabling the lungs to expand and thus facilitate
breathing by expanding the chest cavity. They serve to protect the
lungs,
heart, and other internal
organs of the thorax. In some animals, especially
snakes, ribs may provide support and protection for the entire body.
