What is the name for the bones protecting your lungs?
Correct answer: Ribs
Castra
The ribs not only protect the heart and lungs, they are essential for breathing.
There are muscles between the ribs called " intercostals" they lift the ribs and make them expand to draw air into the lungs ( the lungs don't have muscles of their own)
The other muscle vital for breathing is the diaphragm, which also separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity.
