 Chest - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
In the human body, the chest is the body region between the neck and diaphragm in the front of the body.
It is important to realize that the shape of the chest does not correspond to that of the bony thorax which encloses the heart and lungs; all the breadth of the shoulders is due to the shoulder girdle, and contains the axilla and the head of the humerus.
Contents of the chest include the heart, lungs, diaphragm, esophagus, trachea, aorta, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, the shoulder socket containing the upper part of the humerus, nipple, scapula, pulmonary artery, sternum, xiphoid process, thoracic portion of the spine, major and minor pectoral muscles, trapezius muscles, collarbone, and mammary glands in hominids.

 Chest pain
Because your child is feeling pain in his chest, the doctor will first do a physical (pressing and feeling all around the child's chest) then listen to the chest with a stethoscope.
This way she can determine if the pain is coming from the chest wall (ribs, muscles or skin) or from the organs inside the chest like the lungs or heart.
This is called acute chest syndrome, and it causes severe pain.

 Chest Exercises
When training to emphasize the chest, or more specifically the pectoralis major, the motion should allow the majority of the muscle fibers of the chest to be lined up against the resistance.
These factors increase chest involvement and prevent the front part of the shoulder, which is also a prime mover for this motion, from being emphasized.
Since the resistance is held in the hand during most chest exercises, decide whether the elbow will be stabilized in one position (fly) or whether the elbow will move as the shoulder joint moves (press).

 Chest Exercises to Help Tone and More

 Chest Pain
The most common origin of chest pain is chest wall pain--that is, pain arising from the bones, joints, muscles and nerves in the chest wall.
Any sudden, sharp pain in the chest accompanied with sudden onset of cough, shortness of breath, or palpitations, may indicate a serious condition such as a pneumothorax (hole in the lung) or a pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the lung).
It may be caused by straining the chest, as when coughing or sneezing, or doing push-ups or other activities.

 Dragonwing - Medieval Chest
On my chest, I used biscuit joinery for all the horizontal dowels (except for the dowels which attach the handle rail to the legs of the chest) but used dowels wherever vertical dowels are indicated.
The top of the chest was given two additional coats of finish, since that surface is expected to suffer additional wear and exposure.
This is most easily done when the front and back of the chest have been pre-assembled and you can extend the groove to the point where the side panels will join the leg panels.
