Step 1

The thorax is the area between the abdomen and the root of the neck on the superior side. It is made up of the thoracic cavity, the thoracic wall, and its surface structures (breast, muscles, and skin). The thoracic cavity and the thoracic wall make up the human thorax. It houses organs such as the heart, lungs, and thymus gland, as well as muscles and other internal organs. The thorax is a somewhat hard structure that serves as a firm platform for muscles controlling the craniocervical area and shoulder girdle, as well as protecting internal organs and creating a mechanical bellow for breathing.
