Exempel på hur man kan använda THORAX i en mening

• The external human body consists of a head, hair, neck, torso (which includes the thorax and abdomen), genitals, arms, hands, legs, and feet.
• The rib cage or thoracic cage is an endoskeletal enclosure in the thorax of most vertebrates that comprises the ribs, vertebral column and sternum, which protect the vital organs of the thoracic cavity, such as the heart, lungs and great vessels and support the shoulder girdle to form the core part of the axial skeleton.
• Knowledge of the surface anatomy of the thorax (chest) is particularly important because it is one of the areas most frequently subjected to physical examination, like auscultation and percussion.
• Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura (meaning "short tail" in Greek), which typically have a very short projecting tail-like abdomen, usually hidden entirely under the thorax.
• For copepods, the egg hatches into a nauplius form, with a head and a tail but no true thorax or abdomen.
• The appendages of the head—two pairs of long antennae, a pair of limb-like mandibles and two pairs of maxillae—are much longer than those on the thorax and have a number of fine hairs that the animal uses to strain detritus from the water to feed on.
• When the hive is very heavily infested, Varroa mites can be seen with the naked eye as a small red or brown spot on the bee's thorax.
• It is also characterized by a V-shaped suture or groove on the back of the thorax (mesonotum) and by its wing venation.
• Autonomic nerve fibers form large collections in the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis outside the spinal cord.
• The thorax (: thoraces or thoraxes) or chest is a part of the anatomy of mammals and other tetrapod animals located between the neck and the abdomen.
• In human anatomy, the subclavian arteries are paired major arteries of the upper thorax, below the clavicle.
• Part of the functionality of the clavicle is to serve as a strut between the scapula and sternum, resisting forces that would otherwise bring the upper limb close to the thorax.
• Atta ants have three pairs of spines and a smooth exoskeleton on the upper surface of the thorax, while Acromyrmex ants have four pairs and a rough exoskeleton.
• The tantulus larvae has a head with a ventral oral disc but no appendages, a six-segmented thorax with six pairs of legs, and a limbless abdomen consisting of one to six segments in addition to a telson.
• The head is narrower than the thorax, with antennae consisting of 10 antennomeres with a three-segment club.
• These are often present in adults as well, but adults also develop a pair of glands on the metathorax (third segment of the thorax), these being the metathoracic scent glands.
• The head is fused to the thorax, and bears two pairs of antennae and one pair of sessile compound eyes.
• It contains the most advanced hymenopterans and is distinguished from Symphyta by the narrow "waist" (petiole) formed between the first two segments of the actual abdomen; the first abdominal segment is fused to the thorax, and is called the propodeum.
• Female petalophthalmidans have two or three oostegites (flexible bristly flaps) forming the base of the marsupium or brood pouch under the thorax, apart from the subfamily Boreomysinae, which has seven pairs of oostegites.
• Ants belonging to the Formica genus possess a single knob or bump located between their thorax and abdomen.
