yes. Touch your side. Those hard things you feel are your ribs.
The serratus anterior muscle is located between the scapula and ribcage. It has a serrated ("saw-like") appearance and is responsible for stabilizing the scapula against the ribcage during arm movements.
When the diaphragm and ribcage connect during breathing, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, while the ribcage expands outward. This coordinated movement increases the volume of the thoracic cavity, creating a negative pressure that draws air into the lungs. Upon relaxation, the diaphragm rises, and the ribcage returns to its resting position, which expels air from the lungs. This process is essential for efficient respiration.
The skull protects the brain and sensory organs like the eyes and ears. The ribcage protects vital organs like the heart and lungs while also supporting the structure of the chest cavity.
A bulge on the right side below the ribcage could be a hernia, which is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It is important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and diagnosis to determine the appropriate treatment.
No, the ribs are lateral to the sternum. The sternum is medial to the ribs.
