Detailed Solution
The ribs are joined to the sternum through costal cartilages (hyaline cartilage).
Joints in which bones are held together by cartilage and allow only slight movement are cartilaginous joints.
This slight movement allows the rib cage to expand during breathing.
So the joint between the ribs and sternum is a cartilaginous joint.
