Detailed explanation-1: -The thoracic cavity is surrounded by the rib cage and several layers of membranes, which help keep the organs protected from any dangers in the environment. The heart must be kept in a relatively safe and stable position if it is to continue beating and providing pressure to the body’s vessels.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thoracic cage protects the heart and lungs. Figure 7.32 Thoracic Cage The thoracic cage is formed by the (a) sternum and (b) 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae. The sternum consists of the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
