why are some organs protected by ribcage while others are not

Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query

​The internal organs located in the thoracic cavity like heart, lungs, liver, stomach etc are very delicate and hence are protected by bony rib cage to prevent any damage. The other internal organs like brain is protected by bony skull and spinal cord is protected by bony vertebral column and so on. Hence, there are different structures that prevent different organs in the human body.
