Answer:

The sternum, thoracic vertebrae, and ribs protect the heart and lungs.

Explanation:

The skeleton can be divided into the <em>axial skeleton</em> (the skull and the vertebral column), <em>visceral skeleton</em> (ribs and sternum) and the <em>appendicular skeleton</em> (extremities).

The function of the <em><u>visceral skeleton</u></em> is to <em>support and protect</em> the first portion of the digestive and cardio-breathing apparatus.

In mammals, the second part of the vertebral column (thoracic vertebrae), the ribs and the sternum delimitate a protective box for lungs and heart.
