In higher forms of animals, most of the body organs are not embedded in solid tissue. 1  coelomic cavities are formed to contain the visceral organs. 2  the coelom is lined by epithelium (serosa) and the organs within the body cavity are anchored by mesenteries, or thin membranes that connect the organs to each other and to the body wall.

The mediastinum is an area found in the midline of the thorax that is surrounded by the left and right pleural sacs. It is divided into the superior and inferior mediastinum, of which the latter is larger. The inferior mediastinum is further divided into the anterior, middle and posterior mediastinum. In this article, the borders of each section of the mediastinum and their contents will be discussed.

Mediastinitis is a term used to describe the inflammation of the tissue within the chest or the mediastinum. This disorder can be acute or chronic and is quite serious because the infection is in close proximity to so many essential organs and vessels.

The mediastinum contains all of the chest organs except the lungs. Organs located in the mediastinum include the heart, the aorta, the thymus gland, the chest portion of the trachea, the esophagus, lymph nodes and important nerves.

The heart is contained in the portion of the chest known as the mediastinum. The mediastinum is bordered by the thoracic inlet (where the organs of the neck enter the chest) on top, by the diaphragm on the bottom, the sternum (breastbone) in front, and the vertebral column (backbone) to the rear. The mediastinum is artificially divided into the anterior, middle and posterior sections.

the archenteron is composed of endoderm, and lines the digestive tract and organs. the remainder of the digestive system is composed of either endoderm derivatives or derivatives of the lateral plate mesoderm. differentiation of the archenteron leads to the development of three different regions of the gut:
