Pectus disorders? edit

These are deformities of the thoracic wall. I would suggest a "See also" section (related to) of either this article or the thoracic wall article. --188.228.106.119 (talk) 14:26, 5 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Wording for diagram edit

The wording for the diagram/picture reads:

"Thoracic cavity seen from left. Lungs, among others removed."

The bit about "Lungs, among others..." is vague and even misleading and needs rewording. 194.176.105.153 (talk) 07:45, 25 October 2013 (UTC)Reply


Eventual usage of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane would be recommended.

The picture displays the Mediastinum on sagittal plane, Thoracic diaphragm at the bottom, the heart (Cor), behind Sternum and Costae (to the left on the picture (This is the Anterior.)) and to the right (Posterior) you have the Thoracic vertebrae.


I will change the description, you are welcome to revert it again. --188.228.106.119 (talk) 20:06, 28 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
