The ribs and skull bones fall into the class of flat bones. Flat bones are typically thin, flattened, and provide protection to internal organs while also serving as points for muscle attachment. The ribs protect the thoracic cavity and support the respiratory system, while the skull bones protect the brain and form the structure of the face.
