The rib cage has gaps, known as intercostal spaces, which are necessary for the movement of the ribs during breathing. These spaces allow for the expansion and contraction of the lungs as air is inhaled and exhaled. Additionally, the gaps accommodate muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that support respiratory function and upper body movement. These structural adaptations enhance the rib cage's flexibility and efficiency in respiratory mechanics.
