Ribs is the main part that protect the lungs
The cells that makes mucus are called goblet cells. These are glandular simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete gel forming mucins, which are the major component of mucus.

The ribs protect the lungs and the heart
A ciliated epithelial cell is modified in various ways to be able to perform its function. It is shaped like a wine goblet and that is why they are commonly referred to as goblet cells.
goblet cell
The skull protects the brain, and the ribs protect the lungs... so yes.
well the ribs protect the lungs and i think the heart.
In human bronchi, the cell volume of goblet cells is approximately 2400 micron3 according toMERCER, R. R., RUSSELL, M. L., ROGGLI, V. L. & CRAPO, J. D. 1994. Cell number and distribution in human and rat airways. American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology,10, 613-624.
