What is Anatomy of the Thoracic Cavity about?
The thorax is the area between the neck and abdomen that contains the thoracic cavity. The thoracic cavity is protected by the thoracic cage and contains the lungs, heart, and major blood vessels. The thoracic skeleton includes 12 pairs of ribs, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and the sternum. The ribs and sternum form the front of the protective thoracic cage. The thorax functions to protect vital organs, resist pressure changes in the lungs, and provide attachments for arm and breathing muscles.
