Ribs do not extend all the way down the abdomen because they serve to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and lungs, while allowing space for the organs in the abdominal cavity. The ribcage is structured to facilitate breathing and provide flexibility, with the lower ribs being shorter and floating ribs not attached to the sternum. This anatomical design allows for a balance between protection and mobility, enabling efficient respiratory function and accommodation for the diaphragm's movement.
