Thoracectomy
Thoracotomy refers to a surgical incision into the thorax (chest cavity). In some contexts, thoracotomy may refer specifically to the surgical incision, while the procedure or procedures performed via the incision would be referred to as thoracic surgery.
Thoracentesis
Thoracentesis is a medical procedure where a needle is inserted between two of the ribs to remove excess fluid from the pleural space, the area between the lung and the chest wall. This is usually done to diagnose or treat conditions such as pleural effusion, where fluid accumulates in the pleural space, or to relieve symptoms caused by the fluid, such as shortness of breath or chest pain.
Thoraces
The adjective "thoracic" refers to the chest or the thorax region of the body, which includes the heart, lungs, and other organs.<br><br>In particular, "thoraces" refers to the plural form of the thorax, and it can refer to a body cavity or a chamber that houses the thoracic organs.<br><br>In anatomy and medicine, thoraces may also refer to the individual segments of the thoracic vertebrae or the chest cavity in the vertebral column.<br><br>In arthropods, such as insects, the thorax is a segmented body part that houses the thoracic legs and wings.<br><br>In a broader sense, "thoraces" can be used to describe any structure or region that is similar to or associated with the thorax.
Thoracic

Thoracica
The term "thoracica" refers to the region of the body located between the thorax (chest) and the abdomen.<br><br>In anatomy, it can also refer to the part of the rib cage or the thoracic cavity, which is the area of the body cavity located between the lungs.<br><br>Additionally, in taxonomic classification, "thoracica" is sometimes used as a subphylum of sea cucumbers (Class Holothuroidea), as it is a group of marine animals that belong to a particular subgroup.<br><br>It can also refer to a specific name for the part of an oyster shell that forms the haven of the animal.<br><br>This is a fairly specialized term, but I'm glad I could shed some light on it for you!
Thoracics

Thoraco-abdominal
Thoraco-abdominal refers to the region of the body that lies between the thorax (chest area) and the abdomen. It includes the diaphragm and the abdominal organs, and is the area where the thoracic cavity (chest cavity) and the abdominal cavity meet.
Thoracoabdominal
Relating to, affecting, or describing the thorax (chest and shoulder area) and abdomen (belly).
Thoracoacromial
The thoracoacromial artery is a major artery located in the shoulder region that arises from the second part of the subclavian artery.<br><br>It plays a crucial role in supplying blood to the muscles, bones, and other tissues in the shoulder, including the pectoral girdle.<br><br>The name "thoracoacromial" can be broken down into two parts: "thoraco-" meaning thorax or chest, and "-acromial" meaning related to or resembling the acromion.
Thoracocentesis
Thoracocentesis is a medical procedure in which a needle is inserted into the pleural space, between the lungs and the chest wall, to remove fluid that has accumulated there. It is used to diagnose or treat conditions such as pleural effusion, a buildup of fluid in the pleural space, and pneumothorax, a collapsed lung caused by air in the pleural space.
Thoracocervical
Thoracocervical refers to the region of the body that includes the chest (thoracic) and neck (cervical) areas. It is a term often used in medical contexts, particularly in the fields of surgery and anatomy, to describe the location of structures or injuries in this area, such as the thoracocervical spine, which is the part of the spine that comprises the upper thoracic and cervical vertebrae.
Thoracodorsal
The thoracodorsal muscle is a muscle of the back that helps to extend and adduct the shoulder joint. It is a significant muscle in the posterior aspect of the shoulder, and its dysfunction can lead to various shoulder-related pain and mobility issues.
Thoracodynia
Thoracodynia refers to mid-back pain, specifically pain in the thoracic region of the back, which is the area between the base of the neck and the lower back. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, joint inflammation, and nerve compression.
Thoracoepigastric
Thoracoepigastric refers to the region of the body between the thorax (chest area) and the epigastrium (upper abdominal region).
Thoracohumeral
The term "thoracohumeral" refers to the region of the shoulder where the thorax (chest) meets the humerus (upper arm bone). It's the area where the thoracic cage (ribcage and spine) and the humerus articulate, forming a joint that allows for flexion, extension, and rotation of the shoulder joint.
Thoracolumbar
The term "thoracolumbar" refers to the region of the back that includes the thoracic (chest) spine and the lumbar (lower back) spine, connecting the two. It is the transitional region where the thoracic spine, which is connected to the rib cage, meets the lumbar spine, which does not have a rib cage attachment.<br><br>In medical contexts, the thoracolumbar spine is sometimes specifically noted because it is a common area for injuries or strain, particularly those resulting from heavy lifting or sudden, awkward twisting movements, because the transition from the stiffer thoracic spine to the more flexible lumbar spine can cause stress on the centrovertebral joints between these two regions.<br><br>It can also refer to a type of surgery or medical approach that deals with conditions affecting this very junction.
Thoracolumbosacral
The term "thoracolumbosacral" refers to the region of the vertebral column that combines the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral sections. <br><br>Thoracic refers to the 12th pair of ribs or the mid-back region (T1-T12).<br>Lumbar, or lower back, typically includes the five vertebrae in the L1-L5 section.<br>Sacral refers to the sacrum, a triangular structure formed by the fused vertebrae S1-S5.<br><br>The thoracolumbosacral region encompasses the area from the lower 12 ribs down to the sacral vertebrae, covering about the bottom third of the spine. It's a common term in anatomy, especially in the medical field, for discussions on spinal injuries, musculoskeletal issues, and the supportive structures of this portion of the back.
Thoracometer
A thoracometer is a device used to measure the depth of the chest or thorax of a person, typically used in medical or athletic settings to assess lung volume or respiratory function.
Thoracopathy
Thoracopathy refers to a disease or abnormal condition of the thorax, which includes the chest and lungs. It is a general term that encompasses a range of thoracic disorders, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, lung abscess, or other conditions that affect the thoracic cavity and its components.<br><br>In medical contexts, thoracopathy can be used interchangeably with terms like thoracic disease or thoracic syndrome, although thoracopathy tends to be a more specific term that implies a broad range of conditions falling under its purview.
Thoracoplasty
A thoracoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal or transplantation of parts of the ribs, usually to correct congenital defects or lesions, alleviate symptoms of certain diseases, or relieve chest deformities.<br><br>In medical history, thoracoplasty was also used in the treatment of tuberculosis. In the early 20th century, surgeons would perform a radical thoracoplasty to remove a large portion of the ribs, as well as part of the thoracic cage and lungs, in an attempt to stop the progression of the disease. This procedure was often followed by a prolonged period of bed rest and support for months.
Thoracoscapular
The word "thoracoscapular" refers to the region or area where the thorax (chest) and scapula (shoulder blade) meet.<br><br>In anatomy, it is the area where the thoracic spine, ribcage, and scapula come together to form a transitional zone between the upper back and the shoulder region. This area is relatively flat and is often associated with muscle groups and ligaments that connect the thoracic and scapular regions.
