The trunk, anatomically also known as the truncus, includes the spine, thorax, abdomen, dorsum and pelvis. The thorax is formed by the thoracic spine, ribs and sternum. The pelvic and shoulder girdle, also part of the trunk skeleton, enable the human being to walk upright.
Almost all organs, except the brain and the skin, are located in the trunk or distributed in the individual sections. The abdomen contains the stomach, small and large intestine, spleen, liver, kidneys and pancreas. The chest contains the heart and lungs. The bladder and sexual organs are located in the pelvis.
