Study Notes

The Neck

The neck is a cylinder-shaped organ that connects the head to the trunk.
It contains 7 cervical vertebrae, which provide mobility to the neck.
Important organs, large blood vessels, and nerves are located in front of the cervical vertebrae.

The Trunk

The trunk is the most corpulent part of the body, composed of three parts: thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.
Each part has a cavity named after it: thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities, respectively.

The Thorax

The thorax is located in the upper part of the trunk, over the soft abdominal wall.
It extends from the neck to the diaphragm.
The front side of the thorax is known as the chest, and the rear side is known as the back.

The Chest

The breasts, which are mammary glands, are located on the superior surface of the chest.
The nipples, encircled with areolas, are in the center of the breast.

The Back

The shoulder blades are symmetrically distributed on each side of the backbone, or spine, in the upper region of the back.
The loins are located in the lower region of the back.
