The cartilage between the ribs and breastbone moves and flexes when you breathe.

The cartilage between your ribs and breastbone allows for flexibility and movement of the ribcage during breathing. As you inhale, the cartilage expands and stretches, while it contracts and returns to its original position when you exhale. This movement helps to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the chest cavity during breathing.

Why are there discs of cartilage between the bones in the vertebral column?
The reason there are discs of cartilage between the bones in the vertebral column is because it is to cushion the vertebrae from grinding against each other, which is what happens when arthritis/age sets in, causing the discs of cartilage to erode and letting the vertebrae grind against each other/crush the spinal cord, causing pain and/or paralysis
What happens to the shape of the trachea when you swallow a large mouthful of food?
The trachea is supported by C-shaped rings of cartilage. The point at which there is no cartilage is where the trachea is in contact with the oesophagus. As a large bolus of food passes down the oesophagus the elastic walls expand to accommodate it. This is made possible by the absence of cartilage on the trachea. However, the trachea is prevented from collapsing due to the supporting cartilage around the rest of it.
