Question

What is the "trunk" of the body? Where is it located?

Answer 1

The torso, also known as the trunk, is the integral part of many animal bodies (including humans) from which the neck and limbs extend. The thoracic portion of the trunk, the abdominal segment of the trunk, and the perineum make up the torso.

Complete answer:
The torso houses the majority of vital organs. The rib cage protects the heart and lungs in the upper chest, and the abdomen houses the majority of the digestive organs: the stomach, which uses gastric acid to break down partially digested food; the liver, which produces bile for digestion; and the large and small intestines, which extract nutrients from food the anus, which digests faeces; the rectum, which stores faeces; the gallbladder, which stores and concentrates bile; the kidneys, which contain urine; and the ureters, which transport urine.
The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile; the kidneys contain urine; the ureters transport urine to the bladder for storage; and the urethra excretes urine and, in a person, moves sperm through the seminal vesicles. Finally, both male and female reproductive organs are housed in the pelvic area.

Note:
Nerves supply the organs, muscles, and other contents of the torso, which derive primarily as nerve roots from the thoracic and lumbar parts of the spinal cord. The vagus nerve also provides nerve supply to certain organs.
