Rib

A single human thoracic rib shown in anatomical clipart style as a long, slender, gently arched flat bone in pale ivory to off-white or light beige. The posterior vertebral end is thicker and rounded, bearing a distinct head, narrow neck, and small rounded tubercle. The shaft extends in a smooth crescent-like or flattened semicircular arc with a slight twist along its length, a rounded superior border, and a sharper inferior border with a subtle costal groove along the inferior inner edge. The bone tapers toward a narrower flattened anterior end for attachment to costal cartilage, with smooth cortical surface and subtle anatomical shading.
