Mitä tarkoittaa

Ribs, or kylkiluut in Finnish, are the long, curved bones that form the rib cage, which protects vital organs such as the heart and lungs. In humans, there are typically 12 pairs of ribs, which are categorized into true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs based on their attachment to the sternum. The rib cage plays a crucial role in the respiratory system, as it expands and contracts to facilitate breathing. Additionally, ribs are significant in various culinary contexts, particularly in the preparation of meat dishes, where they are valued for their flavor and tenderness.
