Why would it not make sense for the rib cage to be formed of two solid sheets of bones instead of individual rib bones?
If the rib cage were formed of two solid sheets of bone, it would lack the necessary flexibility to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the lungs during breathing. The individual rib bones allow for a range of motion and provide structural support while still permitting the rib cage to expand and contract. Additionally, the segmented design helps protect vital organs while allowing for movement and flexibility in the upper body. This balance of rigidity and flexibility is essential for both respiration and mobility.
