Description

This 3D illustration of the left first rib presents a clear, isolated view of its anatomical structure. As the topmost rib, it plays a crucial role in protecting the upper chest and the underlying organs, including the heart and lungs. Its unique curvature and positioning in the thoracic cavity make it essential for understanding the mechanics of the rib cage. This model serves as a valuable resource for studying the function of the first rib and its connection to the vertebral column and sternum.
