The thoracic cavity is the hollow place in the body where the heart and lungs are seated. This cavity is lined with the serous membrane, which is a thin layer of tissue that secretes a liquid that keeps the organs from drying out.

Parietal pleura
The body cavity bounded by the ribs is the thoracic cavity. It contains the heart, lungs, and other structures involved in breathing and circulation.
The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is called the pleura. It consists of two layers: the visceral pleura attached to the lungs and the parietal pleura lining the thoracic cavity. The pleura produces a small amount of fluid that helps reduce friction during breathing.
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
