Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The trunk is stabilized by the thoracic spine. The individual ribs are held by the thoracic spine. Since the thoracic spine is involved in the construction of the thorax, the organs lying within are protected by the thoracic spine. In this part of the spine, too, the spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae.
