At the spinal column are the elongated columns of bones, which the thoracic ribs support. The thoracic ribs push the bones the length of bone structure. The ribs join with the spinal column in various areas. Joints connect with these ribs, which are a field of study, since they often wear and tear, causing gradual degenerative diseases, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is defined in medical terms as a metabolically dysfunction of the bones.
