Thoracic Cavity

Space within the thoracic walls, bounded below by the diaphragm and above by the neck.

Pleural Pressure

The pressure within the pleural cavity, which can become negative relative to atmospheric pressure during inhalation, aiding lung expansion.

Atmospheric Pressure

The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, which at sea level is approximately 101.3 kilopascals (760 mmHg).
