	CHIROWEB DC Archives - (Coordination of Gait)
		Efficient human gait is heavily dependent on "dynamic equilibrium." This describes the balance that is required during the movements and instabilities that occur with bipedal locomotion.
		The entire relationship of the shoulder, rib cage, and thoracic spine is driven by the "cross-crawl" neurological reaction to gait.
		Control of reactive balance adjustments in perturbed human walking: roles of proximal and distal postural muscle activity.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Confocal Image Gallery - Human Lung (Sequence 1)
		The external surface of a lung is smooth and conforms to the shape and size of the thoracic cavity or chest, bounded by the rib cage and below by the movable diaphragm.
		Human lungs are paired in the chest with the heart situated in between.
		The inner portion of the lungs is where the actual gas exchange occurs between the blood and the external environment.

	BBC Science & Nature - Human Body and Mind - Skeleton Layer
		Your ribs form a protective cage that encloses many of your delicate internal organs, such as your heart and lungs.
		Your ribcage is assembled from three types of bone - your sternum, 12 pairs of ribs and 12 thoracic vertebrae.
		Your rib bones themselves are quite fragile and are easily broken in an accident or even by a violent sneeze.

	The Skeleton
		The axial skeleton comprises the cranium, sternum, rib cage and vertebral column.
		It is worth noting however, that when we think of "the skeleton" we tend to think of bone, whilst this is generally true of the human skeleton it is not the case in some species of fish.
		We shall be concentrating on the human skeleton but we need to recognise that this is only one form a skeleton can take and, before going on to look at the human skeleton, we should take a brief look at other skeletal forms.

	Samuel Alderson, Crash-Test Dummy Inventor, Dies at 90
		With the dimensions of an average adult man, the dummy had a steel rib cage, articulated joints and a flexible neck and lumbar spine.
		But the new science of crash testing raised a seemingly intractable problem: to study the effect of a crash on the human body, researchers would have to equip the test car with a live human being.
		The dummy that is the current industry standard for frontal crash testing in the United States is a lineal descendant of one Mr.

	Salon Column I was a human crash-test dummy
		You first needed to know, for instance, that the maximum amount a rib cage can compress without causing injury to the soft wet things inside it is two and three-quarter inches.
		During calibration, Beebe said, modern crash-test dummies endure the same sorts of indignities that humans and pigs once did: The Head Drop ("we drop its head on a steel plate"), the Thorax Impact ("we impact its chest with a probe") and the Torso Flexion Test ("a clamp-his-legs-down, bend him-over kinda thing").
		For 15 years, a professor gave his body for human impact-survival research -- and lived to tell the tale.

	The Chevron Cars -Crash Test Dummy
		They have spines made out of metal discs and rubber padding, necks that move, a steel rib cage and knees that respond to impact like a human knee would.
		Crash test dummies first arrived on the scene in 1949 for the U.S. Air Force.
		If, for instance, red paint is placed on the dummy's knee and after the crash there is a lot of red paint on the steering wheel, the researcher knows that the placement of the steering wheel should be adjusted in order to prevent knee injuries.

	National Cancer Institute - Lung Imaging Workshop: Technology Transfer
		These digital sensors permit several improvements that include: (a) dual-energy imaging to partially remove the rib cage to improve cancer detection by image subtraction, and (b) the introduction of image processing methods to improve and potentially standardize image interpretation.
		This presentation will describe some of the work going on at SGI and the medical industry to incorporate these methods into clinical systems.
		Timely and wide dissemination of technology is required, with full documentation for software implementation, to allow improved research timetables similar to the very successful NCI Human Genome Project.

	Hospital helper: When delivery is essential, push a button on Tug
		Once a specimen is placed inside Tug's rib cage, a nurse pushes a button and Tug leaves its ER port, opens the ER doors electronically and rolls down the hallway, staying one foot from the wall, as programmed.
		Aethon, with 55 human employees, sold its first robot in 2003, and now has 100 Tugs rolling down hallways of hospitals and medical facilities nationwide.
		And Tug is not as garrulous as R2-D2 nor as whiny as C3PO.

		Ticos had been obliged to watch one of their kind wrap his arms around the rib cage of a man and crush the man slowly to death without apparent effort.
		Ticos was accustomed to the fact that many of the Everliving had an excellent command of human speech, but Koll's voice still seemed unnatural to him.
		Ticos Cay's hidden arboreal laboratory should be in the second largest section of the floatwood structure, about a third of the way in on the seaward side.

	Outpost Gallifrey: Episode Guide
		The Zygons were designed to glow internally by the provision of a series of lights inside the rib cage and the head, all powered from a concealed battery pack; the idea was not used much during recording.
		The design of the Zygons was based partly on a human embryo, while the Skarasen was achieved by using two puppets, a small stop-motion one and a larger one for the Thames emergence sequence; both were realized poorly.
		Originally planned as the closing segment of season 12, "Terror of the Zygons" was postponed to start season 13 in early August to offset the challenge of ITV's new show "Space: 1999"; it was originally to be a six-part story but was pared down to four for this reason.

	Chapter 48: Support Systems and Locomotion
		Skeletons protect organs: skull (brain), vertebral column (spinal cord), and rib cage (heart and lungs).
		Prenatal human skeleton is cartilaginous; cartilage structures serve as "models" for bone construction.
		Skeletal muscle contraction causes ATP breakdown, releasing heat that is distributed about the body.

	Muscular and Skeletal Systems
		The axial skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage.
		Some areas of the human body, however, retain cartilage in the adult: in joints and flexible structures such as the ribs, trachea, nose and ears.
		Skeletons are either a fluid-filled body cavity, exoskeletons, or internal skeletons.

	Mink
		Mink (and other animals) caught alive can be killed by drowning or by stepping on the rib cage and stopping the heart.

		Mink tagging studies in North Dakota indicate that the young mink move away from the home area during the fall.
