The thoracic cavity is the more superior subdivision of the anterior cavity, and it is enclosed by the rib cage. The thoracic cavity contains the lungs and the heart, which is located in the mediastinum.The diaphragm forms the floor of the thoracic cavity and separates it from the more inferior abdominopelvic cavity. The superior mediastinum is a wedge-shaped cavity located between the superior regions of the two thoracic cavities. 2  The pericardial cavity within the mediastinum is located at the center of the chest below the superior mediastinum.
The pericardium lies within the mediastinum, the portion of the thoracic cavity between the left and right pleural cavities (Figure 1-11d). The connective tissue of the mediastinum surrounds the pericardial cavity and heart, the large arteries and veins attached to the heart, and the thymus, trachea, and esophagus.he thoracic cavity contains three internal chambers: a single pericardial cavity and a pair of pleural cavities (Figure 1-11a). These cavities are lined by shiny, slippery serous membranes. The heart is surrounded by the pericardial cavity.
