Introduction to the thorax
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The thorax is that part of the trunk which extends from the root of the neck to the abdomen. The main structures in the thorax are the heart, the lungs, the great vessels which enter and leave the heart, the trachea or windpipe, the oesophagus, and the thoracic duct. (The oesophagus and thoracic duct run all the way through the thorax, between the neck and the abdomen.) A bulky, movable median septum—the mediastinum—separates the lungs and their covering from each other and contains the heart and many other thoracic structures. This chapter gives an overview of the shape, framework and overview of the thorax: and describes the superior and inferior apertures, and the arrangement of the main structures.
