| Notes |
| TA98 footnote | Cavea thoracis The term compages thoracis was introduced in the fourth edition of Nomina Anatomica as "a new term to denote the thoracic skeleton" (footnote 34, page A 28). However, it has not received wide acceptance and the appropriate term is cavea - a cage, rather than the previous cavum - a cavity. |
