[A] rib is an intersegmental splint of cartilage or replacement bone which articulates with the vertebra. Originally [ribs] extended the entire length of the spine to increase the direct contact of axial muscles with the skeleton. As they lengthened they came to protect underlying viscera while retaining requisite flexibility and minimum weight. Only in amniotes are they specialized to contribute to the breathing mechanism. 1, record 6, English, - rib
