Answer 2

The specific medical abbreviation (prefix and/or root word) that refers to the chest is "pector-" when used in medicine. You also will hear this said in body building and weight training, where the "pecs" abbreviation is used to refer to the chest muscles, the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles.

There are many other terms that are also used to refer to the chest in medicine, such as:

Thoracic Cavity, also known as the Chest Cavity or Thorax. The Thorax is the section of the body that includes the thoracic vertebrae, sternum, and ribs and contains the heart and lungs in the thoracic cavity.

Ventral thorax (the front side of the chest cavity, ventral refers to the front side of the human body.)

Torso could also be a word used to refer to the chest, although normally its definition includes everything between the neck and hips (a larger body section than just the Thorax or chest), so it is sometimes clarified as "Upper torso" to mean the chest only.
