The thoracic cavity contains the heart, the lungs, and some abdominal organs. The thoracic cage provides attachments for muscles of the neck, thorax, upper limbs, abdomen, and back. The thorax moves up and down to allow breathing, so it is one of the most dynamic regions of the body.
What happens to the pressure in your thoracic cavity when you inhale and exhale. When you inhale the volume increases so pressure in the cavity decreases and air rushes in. When you exhale the volume of the cavity decreases so pressure increases and air rushes out.
