the ribs protect your heart and lungs and your vertebrae(spine,
backbones) protect your spinal cord.
Joints allow our bodies to move in many ways. Some joints open and close like a hinge (such
as knees and elbows), whereas others allow for more complicated movement a shoulder or
hip joint, for example, allows for backward, forward, sideways, and rotating movement.
The acute treatment for muscle, bone or joint injury can follow the simple acronym

Rest - Rest is very important for soft tissue injuries, both in the short term
and for longer term care.
Immobilize - Sprains, strains and dislocations can be slinged; fractures should
be splinted and slinged.
Cold - Ice should be applied periodically, for around 10-20 minutes at a time.
After the 10-20 minutes, you need at least a 20 minute off period before you
ice again. Any person sensitive to cold should have a layer of clothing between
the skin and the ice.
Elevation - Where appropriate, the injury should be elevated above the heart,
as this may help reduce the localized swelling which occurs. Do not elevate if
this causes more pain to the victim.
If the injury is bad enough, the victim should be referred to a physician.
