The breastbone (sternum) and the ribs are connected by cartilage to form the "thoracic cage" that covers the heart and lungs.
It is not unusual for ribs to be fractured when using exterior compression on the heart, as is done in CPR.
The three major organs of the circulatory system are: The Heart, The Brain and The Lungs:
The rib cage, comprised of bones.
The skeleton. The heart and lungs are protected by the rib cage, the brain is protected by the skull.
The cerebrum
lever kidney brain heart bone lungs
Ribcage protects lungs, heart etc Skull protects brain.
Your ribcage protects your heart and lungs and your skull protects your brain.
The skeletal system provides protection for vital internal organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs. The rib cage protects the heart and lungs, while the skull protects the brain. Additionally, the spinal column protects the spinal cord.
Skeleton
it protects internal organs such as lungs brain and heart.
The skull protects the brain. The ribcage protects the lungs.
probably the one that's completely surrounded by bone, the brain
It serves as a scaffold which supports organs, anchors muscles, and protects organs such as the brain, lungs and heart.
Skeletal system
the ribs make a cage that protects your heart and lungs.
well the ribs protect the lungs and i think the heart.
The skull protects the brain, and the ribs protect the lungs... so yes.
