Chest

The chest, also known as the rib cage or pectus, is one of the most important parts of the human body. It consists of the breastbone, ribs and breastbone, as well as muscles and other tissues that support its shape and function.

One of the most common breast-related conditions is pectus excavatum, which is characterized by retraction of the breastbone into the chest cavity. This can lead to various problems, including breathing restrictions, chest pain and even heart problems.

There are several treatment options for pectus excavatum, including surgical and non-surgical methods. Non-surgical methods usually include wearing a special brace or exercises to develop the chest muscles. Surgical methods, on the other hand, may involve removing bone tissue or implanting a special prosthetic structure to correct the shape of the chest.

In addition, some people may experience other types of chest deformity, such as carinatum deformity (or pectus carinatum), which is characterized by a bulge in the breastbone. This can also lead to various problems and can be treated with similar methods.

Finally, the chest plays an important role in the breathing process and protects internal organs such as the heart and lungs. Proper breast care, including proper posture and exercises to strengthen the muscles, can help keep them healthy and functional throughout your life.



The space between the collarbones is called the chest area. It is limited below by a hollow formed by the clavicles and ribs, and above by a protruding line, including the supraclavicular fossa. On the right and left, the sternum is limited by the costal hump, which can be very well developed from a couple of undeveloped
