3D model description

Very high detail model.
Costal cartilage is a type of hyaline cartilage that connects the ribs to the sternum (breastbone) in the anterior part of the thoracic cage. This structure plays a critical role in maintaining the flexibility and elasticity of the ribcage, allowing for the expansion and contraction of the thoracic cavity during respiration.

Key features of costal cartilage include:

  1. Anatomy: Costal cartilages are found at the ends of the ribs, typically the first seven pairs of ribs, known as true ribs, which directly connect to the sternum via their respective costal cartilages. The remaining ribs (false ribs and floating ribs) have indirect connections or do not attach to the sternum.

  2. Characteristics: Costal cartilage is made up of a matrix primarily composed of type II collagen fibers and proteoglycans, which provide the tissue with a resilient and smooth surface. This composition allows for some degree of compressibility and flexibility, essential for movement and respiration.

  3. Functions:

    • Flexibility: The elasticity of costal cartilage permits the ribcage to expand during deep inhalation and contract during exhalation, which is essential for effective breathing.
    • Protection: By connecting the ribs to the sternum, costal cartilage helps protect vital organs within the thoracic cavity, including the heart and lungs.

  4. Development and Changes: Costal cartilage can undergo changes with age and as part of certain medical conditions, leading to calcification, which can affect flexibility and respiratory function.

Overall, costal cartilage serves as an important connective tissue within the ribcage, contributing to both the structural integrity and functionality of the respiratory system.Sure! Here are 50 hashtags written in horizontal direction:

Would you like to Cults?

You like Cults and you want to help us continue the adventure independently? Please note that we are a small team of 4 people, therefore it is very simple to us to maintain the activity and create future developments. Here are 3 solutions accessible to all:

  • ADVERTISING: Disable your ad blocker.
  • DONATE: Make a donation via Ko-Fi πŸ’œ.
  • WORD OF MOUTH: Invite your friends to come, discover the platform and the magnificent 3D files shared by the community!

Sharing and ing on Cults3D guarantees that designs remain in makers community hands! And not in the hands of the 3D printing or software giants who own the competing platforms and exploit the designs for their own commercial interests.

Cults3D is an independent, self-financed site that is not able to any investor or brand. Almost all of the site’s revenues are paid back to the platform’s makers. The content published on the site serves only the interests of its authors and not those of 3D printer brands who also wish to control the 3D modeling market.
