Detailed explanation-1: -Protection of vital organs, e.g. heart and lungs (protected by rib cage), brain (protected by the skull) (Note: not all vital organs are protected by bones, e.g., the intestines.)
Detailed explanation-2: -The ribs form a cage that shelters the heart and lungs, and the pelvis helps protect the bladder, part of the intestines, and in women, the reproductive organs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Body organs like ears, nose and tongues do not have bone and instead they have a hard muscular structure called cartilage.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ribs are connected to the sternum with a strong, somewhat flexible material called cartilage. The rib cage help protects the organs in the chest, such as the heart and lungs, from damage.
