Translations:Rippen/14/en

The human body has twelve pairs of ribs (lat. Costae). They have a curved and rod-like shape. The ribs run bent from the thoracic vertebrae to the sternum and form a cross connection. The connection between sternum and ribs is formed by the rib cartilage. The ribs represent an important part of the bony thorax.
