Your rib cage is the cage-like structure of bones that frames your chest cavity (thoracic cavity). Your 24 ribs (12 on each side) wrap around the sides of your torso from front to back. Your rib cage surrounds and protects the vital organs in your chest cavity, your heart and lungs. It expands with your lungs when you breathe. As part of your axial skeleton, your rib cage helps form the trunk of your body. It also serves as an attachment point for core muscles, like your diaphragm.

What is the human rib cage or Thoracic Cage?

- 24 ribs (12 on each side), connecting your sternum (breastbone) in front to your spine in the back.

- 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1 – T12). Thoracic vertebrae make up your thoracic spine. 

- Sternum. 


What are the parts of the human rib cage/Thoracic Cage?

Ribs one through seven on each side (the top ribs) are called “true” ribs because they attach directly to your sternum by their costal cartilage extensions.

True Ribs

Ribs eight to 10 on each side are called “false” ribs because they don’t connect directly to your sternum. Instead, they attach to the front of your rib cage only by the interchondral joints, which connect each of your lower ribs to the one above it.

Your lower ribs 11 and 12 on each side are called “floating” ribs because they have no interchondral joints or costochondral joints, and don’t connect to the front of your rib cage at all. Instead, they end within your abdominal muscles.
