“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
The chest is the part of the body located between the neck and the abdomen, enclosed by the ribcage and sternum in the front, and the spine in the back. It contains vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, as well as muscles and bones that enable breathing and movement.
The chest is important for the respiratory system, as it houses the lungs and airways that bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide. It is also crucial for the circulatory system, as it contains the heart and major blood vessels that transport blood throughout the body.
In addition to its physiological functions, the chest is also significant culturally and symbolically, as it is often associated with courage, strength, and emotional expression.
