Q

what are the 4 functions of the thorax?

A
  1. protect vital thoracic / abdominal organs from external forces
  2. resists the negative internal pressure created by the elastic recoil of the lungs
  3. provides attachments for and support the weight of the upper limbs
  4. provide the origin for some upper limb muscles and attachments for muscles of the abdomen, neck, back, and respiration
