Our ribs primarily protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, including the heart and lungs. They form a protective cage that helps shield these organs from physical trauma. Additionally, the ribcage supports the structure of the upper body and assists in the mechanics of breathing by facilitating the expansion and contraction of the thoracic cavity.
