torso
Let an agent explain the torso, relay its structure and contents from anatomy sources, note its use in art, and distinguish the torso from the head and limbs and from the abdomen alone.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the torso, relay its structure and contents from anatomy sources, note its use in art, and distinguish the torso from the head and limbs and from the abdomen alone.
The trunk of the body, the central part to which the head, neck and limbs attach, containing the chest and abdomen and housing many internal organs; the registry aliases name the human torso and the male and female trunk. The torso is a major anatomical division of the body, distinct from the head and the limbs, and the word is also used in art for a sculpture of the trunk.
What it is for: Housing central organs and anchoring the limbs.
It can be explain the region; relay its structure and contents; note the art sense; distinguish it from the limbs.
Distinguishing features
Central trunk
Anchors the limbs
Houses many organs
Distinct from head and limbs
What it looks like
The central body trunk from shoulders to hips, without the head, arms or legs.
Physical character
