The area in front of or before the chest; the anterior part of the thorax.
From Latin 'ante' (before) + 'pectus' (chest). This is a direct Latin anatomical term used in medical and scientific contexts.
While rarely used in modern medicine, antepectus appears in classical anatomical texts and some specialized medical Latin, showing how precise early anatomists were about body regions.
