WORD OF THE DAY:

Today’s word of the day is Ribs and a few interesting facts about them are explained in the acrostic poem below.  

Removal of a rib can be dangerous but necessary in some instances like to stop the spread of cancer 

Identify ribs by their numbers such as 1-7 are the True ribs and 8-12 are the floating or false ribs 

Back or spine is made up of 12 pairs of slender curved bones called ribs 

Surrounding and protecting the lungs and heart are the ribs
