Ribs, spine, and breastbone (sternum) make up the ribcage (or thoracic cage) - a cage of bone that surrounds the thoracic cavity (the space in your chest where the heart and lungs are). These bones are durable and flexible, deformable enough to allow the chest to expand and contract while breathing, but tough enough to protect the heart and lungs against trauma or crushing.
