the thymus
chest cavity (Laryngeal cavity)
The Mediastinum doesn't contain either, it contains the heart, thymus gland, portions of the esophagus and trachea among other structures. It's located between the Lungs and is separeted into the anterior, middle, posterior, and superior Mediastinum regions. I hope this clears things up.
The lungs are directly lateral to the mediastinum.
The anatomical cavity that contains all of the thoracic viscera except the lungs is the mediastinum. The mediastinum is located between the lungs and extends from the sternum to the vertebral column, and from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm. It houses vital structures such as the heart, great vessels, trachea, esophagus, and thymus gland.
The major structures located within the mediastinum include the heart, great vessels (aorta, vena cava), trachea, esophagus, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and nerves. The mediastinum is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity that separates the lungs into right and left pleural cavities.
The space between the 2 lungs is called the Mediastinum where the heart is located
i think that your lungs would be dried out.
Heart lies in mediastinum. The wall of mediastinum and phrenic nerve lies between the heart and lungs. Phrenic nerve supply to the diaphragm.

The heart is located in the thoracic cavity, which also includes the lungs. In addition, the heart is in the mediastinum, which is the area between the two lungs.
