What is "torso"?

The torso refers to the central part of the body between the neck and the pelvis. It includes the chest, abdomen, and back, housing vital organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines. The torso provides structural support and protection to these organs and plays a crucial role in maintaining bodily functions, including respiration, digestion, and circulation. Additionally, the torso contains various muscles, including the abdominal and back muscles, which contribute to posture, movement, and overall strength. The torso serves as a core foundation for the human body and is essential for overall stability and functionality.
