Intercostal Spaces
Pandas have a total of 24 ribs, which is the same as most other bear species. Their ribs are important for protecting their internal organs and supporting their body structure.
The muscles behind the ribs in the back are responsible for supporting the spine, aiding in breathing, and assisting in movements of the upper body.
It's the non-bony extension (continuation) of the ribs, that connects the ribs and the sternum (breast bone), thus forming a complete framework for the thoracic space.

There are three types of ribs in the human body: true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. True ribs are connected directly to the sternum, false ribs are connected to the sternum indirectly or not at all, and floating ribs are not connected to the sternum at all. Each type of rib plays a role in protecting the organs in the chest and supporting breathing, but they differ in their attachment points and flexibility.
Birds have some bones in their bodies that are "hollow." These are called pneumatic bones, and they help birds breathe when they are in flight. The bones of the pelvic girdle, some ribs, the humeru,s and the femur all are pneumatic.
The lateral aspect of the lower ribs refers to the outer or side part of the lower ribs. It is the area where the lower ribs curve and connect to the sternum in the front and the spine in the back. This region is important for protecting the internal organs and supporting the structure of the chest.
The correct order of ribs from superior to inferior are true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. Humans have 24 ribs.
Three types of ribs we have are True ribs, False ribs, and Floating ribs.
The order of ribs from superior to inferior is: True ribs (1-7) False ribs (8-10) Floating ribs (11-12)
The skeletal system provides a framework and support for soft tissues and produces blood cells in red marrow.
