Overview
The thoracic region contains critical organs involved in breathing and blood circulation. This section outlines the bony framework, muscles, and internal components of the chest cavity, providing a basis for comprehending the anatomy and physiology of the heart and lungs.

Key Structures
Learners are guided through the anatomy of the lungs and pleural membranes, the heart and major vessels, and the subdivisions of the mediastinum. Detailed discussions cover the diaphragm, thoracic wall, and associated neurovascular structures, linking anatomical features with relevant clinical insights.

Clinical Relevance and Learning Focus
A solid understanding of thoracic anatomy is fundamental for accurate interpretation of chest imaging, effective cardiovascular and respiratory assessment, and the safe execution of invasive procedures. Each topic emphasizes applied clinical anatomy, strengthening understanding of thoracic structure and function in both normal and pathological states.
