- This article uses a few professional terms to explain certain anatomical details. These words apply only when the body is in the anatomical position, i.e., standing up with hands facing forward. Please visit the anatomical position page for more detailed information.
The superior thoracic aperture refers to the superior opening of the thoracic cavity. It is also referred to anatomically as the thoracic inlet and clinically as the thoracic outlet. It is important to note that the clinical entity called the Thoracic outlet syndrome does not refer to the inferior thoracic aperture.
Boundaries
The thoracic inlet is essentially a hole surrounded by a bony ring, through which several vital structures pass.
