Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The “gaps” are for cartilage, which works with the ribs and muscles to provide support, movement, and protection to the internal organs. In addition to breathing, it may also be awful diffucult to bend down to pick up your dropped pencil if all of that were bone in your chest.
