Ribs are not flexible, just the connections.
Lower most two pairs of ribs (11th and 12th) are known as floating ribs because they are only attached to vertebrae but not to the sternum.
Floating ribs (ribs 11 and 12) are more easily broken than attached ribs because they are not connected to the sternum in the front, making them more vulnerable to lateral impacts. Their reduced protection from surrounding muscles and ligaments also makes them more susceptible to fractures from direct trauma or crushing forces. Additionally, the flexibility of floating ribs makes them less stable compared to attached ribs, increasing the risk of injury.
There are normally 24 ribs (12 pairs) in a male human rib cage and the same in a female human rib cage, so the total in a man and a woman would be 48 ribs.
The order of ribs from superior to inferior is: True ribs (1-7) False ribs (8-10) Floating ribs (11-12)
The "true" ribs are the first 8 ribs of the horse's rib cage (there are 18 total ribs). They are the true ribs because the attach to both the vertebrae above them and the sternum below. I found this in a book-Chapter 35 of Saddles by Russel H. Beatie. Hope this helps.
It is a sensation that makes your ribs ticklish and it makes you laugh
Because they have to move to let your lungs expand and compress as you breathe in and out.

If the ribs were not attached to the sternum by cartilage (which is flexible), it would be more difficult to breathe, because as you inhale and exhale the chest needs to be able to flex.
Ribs are primarily made of bone, which makes them hard and rigid. However, they also contain cartilage at their joints and ends, which is softer and more flexible. This combination allows for both protection of vital organs and some movement during breathing. Overall, while the bony structure is hard, the presence of cartilage adds a degree of softness.
Cartilage is the tissue that makes the tip of your nose flexible
Well someone will have to "EAT" yours since your ribs wont allow you to perform such sexual task.
The breastbone, or sternum, is a flexible plate of cartilage that holds the front of most of the ribs in place to form the thoracic cage.

A snake's skeleton is composed mainly of ribs, with very few vertebrae. The ribs are elongated and flexible, allowing for the snake's unique movements and flexibility. The skull is also highly specialized for swallowing large prey whole, with flexible jaws and no fused bones.
ANimal cells. They dont have a cell wall so it makes them very flexible.
"Flexible temperature" of what? You'll have to rephrase the question so that it makes sense.
