Detailed explanation-1: -[2] The thoracic cavity contains organs and tissues that function in the respiratory (lungs, bronchi, trachea, pleura), cardiovascular (heart, pericardium, great vessels, lymphatics), nervous (vagus nerve, sympathetic chain, phrenic nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve), immune (thymus) and digestive (esophagus) systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thoracic inlet allows the esophagus and trachea to penetrate the thoracic cavity. The esophagus will pass all the way through the cavity to connect with the stomach, while the trachea lead to the bronchi of each lung which lead to smaller and smaller passages that fill the lungs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thorax is also called the chest and contains the main organs of respiration and circulation. The heart through its main artery, the aorta, pumps oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. The lungs provide oxygen to the cells of the body and eliminate carbon dioxide.
