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.
