Kaburgalar are the bones that form the rib cage in the human body. They protect vital organs such as the heart and lungs while also providing structure and support to the upper body. Typically, an adult has 24 ribs, arranged in 12 pairs, which are connected to the spine at the back and to the sternum at the front. Each rib is curved and varies in size, with the upper ribs being shorter and the lower ribs being longer. The ribs also play a role in breathing, as they expand and contract to allow the lungs to fill with air.
