Anatomy of the Thoracic Wall, Pulmonary Cavities, and Mediastinum
Abstract
The thorax is the body cavity, surrounded by the bony rib cage, that contains the heart and lungs, the great vessels, the esophagus and trachea, the thoracic duct, and the autonomic innervation for these structures. The inferior boundary of the thoracic cavity is the respiratory diaphragm, which separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. Superiorly, the thorax communicates with the root of the neck and the upper extremity. The wall of the thorax contains the muscles involved with respiration and those connecting the upper extremity to the axial skeleton. The wall of the thorax is responsible for protecting the contents of the thoracic cavity and for generating the negative pressure required for respiration. The thorax is covered by skin and superficial fascia, which contains the mammary tissue.

The thoracic wall surrounds the thoracic cavity and consists of multiple components, including the thoracic vertebra, ribs, sternum, and muscles.
“The thoracic wall, which surrounds the thoracic cavity and consists of multiple components, including the thoracic vertebra, ribs, sternum, and muscles [10], is a key structure to evaluate the 4CV frame (Supplementary Figure S1).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
