The thoracic cage consists of the following:

  • Thoracic vertebrae
  • Ribs
  • Sternum

Explanation for each option:

  1. Thoracic vertebrae: Correct. The thoracic vertebrae are part of the thoracic cage, providing attachment points for the ribs and supporting the structure of the cage.

  2. Sacrum and coccyx: Incorrect. The sacrum and coccyx are part of the vertebral column but are located below the thoracic region and are not part of the thoracic cage.

  3. Cervical vertebrae: Incorrect. The cervical vertebrae are located in the neck region and are not part of the thoracic cage.

  4. Ribs: Correct. The ribs form a major component of the thoracic cage, encasing and protecting the thoracic organs.

  5. Sternum: Correct. The sternum, or breastbone, is a central part of the thoracic cage, to which the ribs are connected via costal cartilages.

In summary, the thoracic cage is composed of the thoracic vertebrae, ribs, and sternum.
