Thoracic wall

Curved semi-cylindrical anatomical cutaway of the human thoracic wall, shown as a rounded chest wall block with a smooth convex outer body contour. Multiple arched pale ivory ribs are visible in cross-section or layered view, separated by clear intercostal spaces and forming a protective cage-like framework; the sternum may be included anteriorly. Overlying the ribs are layered soft tissues including skin, subcutaneous fat, pink to muted red muscle and intercostal muscle layers, with inner lining also visible. The image should emphasize clear layered anatomy and the relationship between the bony rib cage and surrounding chest wall tissues in a simplified anatomical style.
