The bony thorax protects the heart and liver.

Wrong...

the bone thorax protects the heart and LUNGS as it also allows the respiratory muscle to create a vacuum that will draw air into the lungs. while the Ribs withing in the bone thorax will protect not only the thoracic organs, but as well the spleen, most of the liver and to some extent the kidneys.
