The rib cage is a bony structure that protects the vital organs in the chest such as the heart and lungs. It is made up of 12 pairs of ribs that attach to the thoracic vertebrae at the back and to the sternum (breastbone) at the front.
The rib cage functions as a protective shield for the organs in the chest, helping to prevent injury from external forces. The ribs also play a role in respiration by expanding and contracting during breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and the rib cage expands, increasing the volume of the chest cavity and allowing air to flow into the lungs. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and the rib cage contracts, decreasing the volume of the chest cavity and expelling air from the lungs.
Rib cage pain can be caused by a variety of factors such as trauma, infection, inflammation, or conditions affecting the bones, muscles, or organs within the chest. It is important to seek medical attention if rib cage pain is severe or persistent, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as difficulty breathing or chest tightness.
