Hi all I no is there is the chest and lungs both have walls with fluid to stop them rubbing. I no this because when I went to doctors about pain in chest he told me I've managed to lose fluid between them causing me nasty pain and them rubbing. ( it was caused by nasty cough I had and I've got it again). Hope this answers abit of your question.
the ribs make a cage that protects your heart and lungs.
Your Rib Cage protects your lungs.

The lungs and heart are protected and surrounded by the ribs called the rib cage.

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.
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.
