The ribs, sternum and thoracic vertebrae make up the ribcage.
There is no organ that shares it protection between the skull and ribcage. The skull protects the brain mainly and hte ribcage protects the heart and lungs.
Tightness around the ribcage can be caused by broken ribs, pulled or strained muscles, or fluid in or around the lung or heart.
Thoracic cage i think
The ribs are linked by the intercostal muscles. These open and close the ribcage to cause breathing.
