Two bones in the thoracic region are the thoracic vertebrae and the ribs. The thoracic vertebrae consist of twelve individual bones (T1 to T12) that form the upper and middle part of the spine, providing support and flexibility to the torso. The ribs, typically 12 pairs, attach to the thoracic vertebrae and encase the thoracic cavity, protecting vital organs such as the heart and lungs. Together, these structures play a crucial role in respiration and overall stability of the upper body.
