Ever wondered how many ribs you have on your body?
Shut your eyes and start counting and then see if you’ve guessed right.
You have 12 pairs of curved ribs which make up your ribcage, and they protect all the organs inside your chest. They are also attached to your spine (also called the backbone).
Did you know?
Violent coughing can fracture (break) a rib but this usually only affects adults or people with weak bones!
