肋骨

Also known as ribs

骨の一つ

AI overview

Ribs are long curved bones that form a cage around your chest, protecting vital organs like your lungs and heart while allowing them to expand so you can breathe. In most animals with backbones, ribs play this dual role of defense and support, though in some creatures like snakes they extend further to protect the entire body.
