The thorax. See the related link for more information.
The thorax of an ant is considered to be its powerhouse. The thorax is the portion of the body to which the ant's legs are attached. There are three sections to the thorax in ants.
Osteichthyes is a biological class that includes bony fish. Osteichthyes have skeletons primarily composed of bone tissue. These fish are characterized by their bony skeleton and swim bladder.
The head is the first part, with antennae, eyes and mouthparts. The thorax is the middle, with the legs and wings if the insect has them, and containing the muscles to use them. The third part is called the abdomen, with no appendages. This part houses the internal organs.
Some characteristics of ants are that they are social insects, and that they come in shades of black, brown, or red. Another characteristic is that they have bodies that are divided into three sections.
"Bony thorax is intact" means that the bones of the chest, including the ribs and sternum, are whole and undamaged. This phrase is often used in medical contexts, such as during physical examinations or radiology reports, to indicate that there are no fractures or injuries to the bones of the chest.
On a chest x-ray, this means that the bones are seen as normal, without pathology.
In radiology interpretations, this is terminology meaning that the soft tissue and bony thorax is normal. (Since there are normal age-related changes, the reading is customarily reported with this kind of phrase.)
This means that there are no observable abnormalities or issues present in the bones of the thorax, which includes the ribs and sternum. This is a normal finding and indicates that the bony structures in the thorax appear healthy and without any significant concerns.

The coxa are inferior to the thorax. Both are bony, and can be described as neither superficial nor deep in relation to each other.
The bony thorax protects the heart and liver. Wrong... the bone thorax protects the heart and LUNGS as it also allows the respiratory muscle to create a vacuum that will draw air into the lungs. while the Ribs withing in the bone thorax will protect not only the thoracic organs, but as well the spleen, most of the liver and to some extent the kidneys.
The sternum, or breastbone, is the central bone of the thorax. It lies in the middle of the chest and articulates with the ribs through the costal cartilages.
