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.

This does generate an environment full of negativity, which can harm everyone involved. The fact that Pilar, overcoming this environment, winning the prize and giving a sincere speech, regardless of what her colleagues said, shows that she got used to and adapted to a place with this type of negativity.
