Part of the anatomy of a girl of ten (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thorax

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part' is the definition.
(thorax is a kind of part)

'anatomy of a girl of ten' is the wordplay.
'anatomy of a girl of' becomes 'thora' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ten' becomes 'X' (Roman numeral).
'thora'+'x'='THORAX'

'of the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thorax that I've seen before include "Part of the body between the head and abdomen" , "Part of the human torso between neck and diaphragm" , "Middle section of insect's body" , "Middle section of an insect" , "Insect's upper body" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
