rib cage
The body cavity bounded by the ribs is the thoracic cavity. It contains the heart, lungs, and other structures involved in breathing and circulation.
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
Thoracic cavity indicates your chest , the Abdominal cavity indicates your abdomen INFERIOR means under .Your chest is above your abdomen hence the thoracic cavity is SUPERIOR to the Abdominopelvic cavity.
It's the non-bony extension (continuation) of the ribs, that connects the ribs and the sternum (breast bone), thus forming a complete framework for the thoracic space.
The diaphragm divides the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
The thoracic cage includes bony projections such as the ribs and the sternum which protect the thoracic organs including the heart and lungs. The ribs form a cage-like structure around the organs while the sternum provides additional protection and support. These bony projections help safeguard the vital organs in the chest cavity from external forces.
