Thoracic apertures (anatomy)
There are two key apertures within the thorax:
- superior thoracic aperture; also termed the thoracic inlet
- inferior thoracic aperture; also termed the thoracic outlet
Clinically, the superior thoracic aperture is termed occasionally as the thoracic 'outlet' e.g. as in the thoracic outlet syndrome.
