In this episode, we review the anatomy of the thoracic apertures. What are they, where are they and what are the main structures that pass through their openings?

Terms covered this week; superior and inferior thoracic apertures. The thoracic inlet and outlet (confusingly the same thing). Finally the well-documented clinical condition of thoracic outlet syndrome.
