Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The pars cervicalis extends from HWK 6 to BWK 1 and lies anterior to the spine in the region of the neck.
The pars thoracica is the longest section and is located in the upper and posterior mediastinum (mediastinum superius and mediastinum posterius). It runs from BWK 1 to about BWK 11, where the passage through the diaphragm is located.
The shortest section is the pars abdominalis. This extends from the piercing of the diaphragm to the entrance of the stomach (lat. Cardia). In addition, it is already in the peritoneal cavity (lat. Cavitas peritonealis).
