• Sternum (उरोस्थि) — Flat bone on the ventral midline of the thorax.
• True ribs (1–7) (वास्तविक पसलियाँ (1–7)) — Joined directly to the sternum by hyaline cartilage.
• False ribs (8–10) (कूट पसलियाँ (8–10)) — Vertebrochondral — join the 7th rib’s cartilage.
• Floating ribs (11, 12) (प्लावी पसलियाँ (11, 12)) — Not connected ventrally.
• Hyaline cartilage (काचाभ उपास्थि) — Connects ribs to the sternum — allows the chest to move in breathing.
• Thoracic vertebrae (वक्षीय कशेरुकाएँ) — 12 thoracic vertebrae; each rib articulates with them dorsally.
