The ribs expand so that we can breathe. When the ribs expand, the volume of the pleural space increases and the lower pressure brings in air.

What are the reasons why humans need a bony skeleton?
The skeletal system has many important functions, including: 1. Providing a sturdy attachment site for your muscles, so that your body can move, and so that the body does not exist in a "gelatinous" state. 2. The skeletal system can be divided into two "parts"; the Axial skeleton and the Appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton basicallly consists of the bones of your skull and trunk (spine, ribs,). The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of your arms and legs. The axial skeleton gives your body it's posture, so that it doesn't fall over. It also protects vital organs- the ribs enclose/protect the lungs, and the sterum covers/protects the heart. The liver is also partially protected by your ribs. The bones of your skull protect your brain, etc. The bones of the appendicular skeleton (working w/our muscles) allow us to walk, stand, grasp,and move objects. 3. Many bones store important minerals like calcium and phosphorus, etc. 4. Some bones produce and store bone marrow (red and yellow bone marrow). Red bone marrow produces blood cells.
Where do bones allow movement to happen?
Bones move by your musclesBones have joints that let them move back and forth, muscles help them move, and you need energy to move your body like healthy How_do_your_bones_move.
What gives and supports to the body making movement possible?
the main one is of course the brain. You can't move without it.
What bones comprise the axial skeleton?
Axial bones are part of the skeleton. It consists of 80 bones that go along the central axis of the human body. They go from the human skull right down to the vertebral column.The bones of the SkullThe bones of the ThoraxThe bones of the Vertebral ColumnThe RibsThe Pelvic boneslist the bones of the axial skeleton
How do bones support your body?
The main job of the skeleton is to provide support for our body. Without your skeleton your body would collapse into a heap. Your skeleton is strong but light. Without bones you'd be just a puddle of skin and guts on the floor.
Is it bones or muscles helps to move our body?
The bones form the skeleton and support the body. It is the muscles that move some of the bones to allow us to move our bodies.
What allows humans to move?
The muscle system and the skeleton system are the main body systems that allow the human body to move. When muscles contract and expand it moves the bones, ligaments, and cartilage hence making you move. For more information you can google muscles and skeleton.
What is a skeletion?
A skeleton is a system of bones that force you to move our body

Define the function of the skeleton system?
The skeleton system serves as a support system for your body, your muscles are attached to your bones by tendons (also known as the musculo-skeletal system)providing the ability to move, and bones protect certain organs. The ribs, for example, are a layer of protection for your lungs and heart. The brain is protected by the surrounding skull. Blood cells are produced in the marrow of bones and bones are used as resevoirs for minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.
What are the important of skeleton system?
because if we dont have a skeleton we can not move
What system helps bones to move?
The Muscular system helps to move bones.
What are joints designed to do?
Joints are the place where two bones meet. All of your bones, except for one (the hyoid bone in your neck), form a joint with another bone. Joints hold your bones together and allow your rigid skeleton to move. Hope this helps?! :)
