Question

William was in a car accident. William was the driver and his body slammed into the steering wheel. Which part of William's body was mostly likely impacted by the steering wheel?
Pelvic Cavity
Knee joints
Thoracic Cavity
Cranial Cavity

Answer 1

The correct answer is Thoracic Cavity

Explanation:

In the human body, the thoracic cavity is located above the abdomen and below the neck. This cavity includes vital organs such as the lungs and the heart. Moreover, this cavity is surrounded by bones such as the ribs. Besides this, while driving the thoracic cavity is expected to be in front of the steering wheel because the steering wheel is always in front of the chest of the driver. Due to this, if William's body slammed into the steering wheel during the accident is likely this cavity was the one most affected due to its position.
