Yes, the rib cage plays a crucial role in breathing. It protects the lungs and heart while also providing structural support for the respiratory system. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and the rib cage expands, allowing the lungs to fill with air. Conversely, during exhalation, the rib cage relaxes, helping to push air out of the lungs.
