this is the thoracic cavity, the space between the neck and the abdomen, this contains the lungs, heart & the main artery called the aorta, the lungs are covered by a membrane called the pleura which holds the lungs in situ and is the area affected by pleurisy, if air or gasses are allowed to permeate this area outside the lungs the vacuum that enables breathing is compromised and a collapsed lung can occur.
The heart is in the thoracic cavity in a part called the mediastinum. It is protected by the pericardium, a membranous sac that surround the heart. The mediastinum is that space in the thoracic cavity between the lungs that contains the heart. It also contains the aorta, esophagus, trachea and thymus.The pleural cavity is the space in the chest between the lungs.
The heart is situated in the mediastinum, which is a space between the lungs in the approximate center of your chest behind your breastbone. The heart is actually located more to the left, though, and so the reason you'll feel it beat harder on the left side is because that's where it is. There are, however, congenital birth defects in which the heart is found on the right side of the chest. This is a rare case and the average human will have his/her heart situated more toward the left.
The pericardial space is located in between the parietal and visceral pericardium, contains 10-20 ml of fluid to cushion and protect the heart.
In typesetting the space between lines is called lead or leading. The space between letters is keening.
The pericardium is a tough double layered fibroserous sac which covers the heart. The space between the two layers of serous pericardium the pericardial cavity, is filled with serous fluid which protects the heart from any kind of external jerk or shock.
