The rib cage consists of three main parts: the sternum (breastbone), the ribs, and the thoracic vertebrae. The sternum is located at the front and center of the chest, the ribs are the curved bones that wrap around the chest, and the thoracic vertebrae are the part of the spine to which the ribs are attached at the back. Together, these components protect vital organs such as the heart and lungs.
