Yes, they do; you can feel it for yourself by sitting still and breathing slowly.
yes they can they also move when you breathe
yes.yor ribs move 5 million times a year, everytime you breathe!
Your diaphragm lowers and your ribs expand outwards
Outwards and upwards
place your hands on your hips and move them up until you feel bones, what you feel is your ribs.
Ribs
The ribs don't move when inhaling. They may be particularly flexible and when you press on them they may bend a little before breaking. Also, the ribs are attached to the spine, so if they did move that could be particularly dangerous and even fatal. However, the only thing that flexes when breathing is the lungs.
breathing ant it
Because they have to move to let your lungs expand and compress as you breathe in and out.
hi,, i think the answer is that because of dk5 and h4o making a compound causing the ribs to move
The ribs enclose the thoracic cavity providing bony protection for the vital organs of the thorax-the heart and lungs.Because the thorax must expand and contract to allow breathing, the ribs move slightly in a "bucket handle" type of motion with each breath.Therefore the ribs are involved with breathing.
Ribs move with the diaphragm to assist in breathing. While they are fairly rigid, just look at how your chest expands and contracts while breathing. If they were immovable, there would be no movement.
The correct order of ribs from superior to inferior are true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. Humans have 24 ribs.
