what is the proper name for the ribs of a wooden boat frame?

The ribs I am talking about are the long horizontal wooden sticks that go from the stern to the bow of the boat.

Ribs run from the Keel to the side plates, perpendicular to the keel. Stay runs hold the ribs in place before the planking is applied.
