Egyptian culture was the first to produce leavened bread, and leavened bread was a symbol of Egyptian culture. This did not mean that unleavened bread disappeared from the Egyptian diet (when Jews â or others â said, âOn all nights we eat leavened and unleavened bread,â they meant what they said), but leavened bread was preferred.
The ribcage, also called the thoracic cage, is a bony structure made up of the rib bones and their connective tissues. The ribcage forms part of the bodyâs respiratory system.
A rib fracture is a break in one of the bones that compose the rib cage. Ribs may be fully broken or partially broken (cracked). When a rib is completely broken, the edges of the bones pose a danger of damaging or tearing internal organs, such as the lungs, liver or spleen, as well as blood vessels. Bone fractures, including fractures of the rib, are most commonly caused by trauma, such as fall or a motor vehicle accident.
