From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :


  Thorax \Tho"rax\, n. [L., fr. Gr. ?.]
     1. (Anat.) The part of the trunk between the neck and the
        abdomen, containing that part of the body cavity the walls
        of which are supported by the dorsal vertebr[ae], the
        ribs, and the sternum, and which the heart and lungs are
        situated; the chest.
  
     Note: In mammals the thoracic cavity is completely separated
           from the abdominal by the diaphragm, but in birds and
           many reptiles the separation is incomplete, while in
           other reptiles, and in amphibians and fishes, there is
           no marked separation and no true thorax.
  
     2. (Zo["o]l.)
        (a) The middle region of the body of an insect, or that
            region which bears the legs and wings. It is composed
            of three united somites, each of which is composed of
            several distinct parts. See Illust. in Appendix. and
            Illust. of Coleoptera.
        (b) The second, or middle, region of the body of a
            crustacean, arachnid, or other articulate animal. In
            the case of decapod Crustacea, some writers include
            under the term thorax only the three segments bearing
            the maxillipeds; others include also the five segments
            bearing the legs. See Illust. in Appendix.
  
     3. (Antiq.) A breastplate, cuirass, or corselet; especially,
        the breastplate worn by the ancient Greeks.
