What to organs do the ribs protect?

What are the components of the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit?
The heart is responsible for pumping the blood to every cell in the body. It is also responsible for pumping blood to the lungs, where the blood gives up carbon dioxide and takes on oxygen. The heart is able to pump blood to both regions efficiently because there are really two separate circulatory circuits with the heart as the common link. Some authors even refer to the heart as two separate hearts, a right heart in the pulmonary circuit and left heart in the systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonary arteries, goes to the lungs, and returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
What do the heart and lungs have in common?

Do lungs protect the heart?
Lungs and heart are both located inside the rib cage where as the brain is inside the skull. The brain's blood supply is separated by the blood-brain barrier. Lungs are surrounded by pleural cavity
