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.

In animal cells, the actin cytoskeleton forms a cleavage furrow to physically separate the cellular contents during cytokinesis.
REY [17]

Answer:

The approach of cytokinesis to form cleavage furrows does not work for the plant cells due to specific reasons. These reasons are -

The presence of a rigid outermost layer called cell wall in plant cells that do not allow for forming furrows.

Centrioles present in animal cells helps in maintaining the organisation of mitotic spindle and completion of cytokinesis, however, not found in plant cells. The Golgi vesicles secrets and makes a septum or cell plate in the equatorial plane of the cell wall with the help of microtubules and phragmoplast help in the separation of two daughter cells.
