There are 25 bones in the chest. One of these bones is the sternum. The sternum lies near the top center of the chest, in between the rib cage. The other 24 bones consist of 2 sets of 12 ribs, found on each side of the chest cavity. These bones are very important in providing protection to vital organs and the ribs specifically allow for breathing by expanding and contracting.
If your bones are sticking out of your chest this may mean your under weight. However in some people the lower ribs protrude or stick out. Also, the xiphoid process in the front sticks out in some people.

In general, bones are similar in structure between men and women. However, women tend to have lower bone density and smaller bones compared to men, which can affect their risk of developing osteoporosis. Hormonal differences play a role in these differences.
The adult skeleton of men and women both contain 206 bones, although some individuals may have additional sesamoid bones (small bones embedded within tendons) that vary in number.
There are typically around 206 bones in the adult human body, regardless of gender. However, the exact number can vary slightly from person to person due to differences in bone development and fusion.
