Human Anatomy: Neck and Trunk

Neck = Connects the head to the trunk Thorax = Located in the upper part of the trunk over the soft abdominal wall Abdomen = Part of the trunk below the thorax and above the pelvis Pelvis = Lower region of the trunk

Cervical vertebrae = Found in the neck and provide mobility Breasts = Mammary glands lying on the superior surface of the chest Shoulder blades = Located in the upper region of the back Loins = Located in the lower region of the back

Thoracic cavity = Located over the soft abdominal wall Abdominal cavity = Part named after the area below the thorax Pelvic cavity = Located in the lower part of the trunk Cervical cavity = Part named after the neck region

<p>Nipples = Centre of the breast on superior chest surface Mammary glands = Superior surface of the chest Large blood vessels and nerves = Found in front of cervical vertebrae in the neck Shoulder blades and loins = Symmetrically distributed on each side of the backbone</p> Signup and view all the answers
