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.

What is the value of the expression when a equal 4B equal 3 + c equal 10​
mezya [45]

Answer:

The value of the expression is as follows:

a = 10; B = 2.5; c = 7

Explanation:

a = 4B = 3 + c = 10​

Step 1

split equation into parts, then we have

3 + c = 10

c = 10 - 3

c = 7 (the value of c is 7)

Step 2

Rewrite equation as a = 4B = 10, then split again

4B = 10

Then, B = 10➗ 4

B = 2.5 ( the value of B is 2.5)

Step 3

Take the last part of the equation

a = 10 (the value of a is 10)

Note the "equal sign =" put whatever is on the left hand side to be equal to the right hand side
