Anterior surface of sternum and costal cartilages. In anatomy, ribs (Latin costae) are the long curved bones which form the rib cage. Ribs surround the chest (Latin thorax) of land vertebrates, and protect the lungs, heart, and other internal organs of the thoracic cavity. In entomology the costa refers to the vein on the leading edge of the wing (See Glossary of Lepidopteran terms) In mammals, one generally thinks of ribs occurring only in the chest. However, fused-on remnants of ribs can be traced in development in neck vertebrae (cervical ribs) and sacral vertebrae. From Grays Anatomy. ...
