Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain rib anatomy and function, route rib injuries to care, provide general information on rib conditions, and separate the culinary sense.

One of the curved bones forming the rib cage in vertebrates, in humans twelve pairs attached to the thoracic vertebrae and, for true ribs, to the sternum, with false and floating ribs and occasional extra cervical ribs; ribs protect the heart and lungs, support breathing and can be fractured or affected by disease, and rib is also a cut of meat.

What it is for: Anatomy, breathing and chest protection.

It can be explain rib anatomy and numbering; recognise injuries needing care; explain rib conditions in general terms; separate the culinary sense.
