The mediastinum is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity, the area inside the ribcage. It is surrounded by areolar connective tissue and contains all thoracic organs except for the lungs, including the heart and its great blood vessels, the esophagus and trachea, the phrenic and cardiac nerves, the thoracic duct, the thymus, and lymph nodes.
The pleurae, which contain the lungs, lie on either side of the mediastinum within the chest cavity. Each pleura is made up of two layers: parietal layer and visceral layer.The parietal layer lines the thoracic wall and covers the thoracic surface of diaphragm.It also lines the lateral aspect of mediastinum and extends into the root of the neck where it lines the undersurface of supra-pleural membrane.he pleurae, which contain the lungs, lie on either side of the mediastinum within the chest cavity.
