    The document discusses the anatomy of the chest cavity and mediastinum. The chest cavity is bounded by the thoracic wall and diaphragm and contains the lungs and mediastinum. The mediastinum divides the chest cavity into left and right pleural cavities and contains the heart, great vessels, esophagus, and other structures. It is divided into the superior, anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum, each containing different thoracic organs, vessels, and nerves.

    ANATOMY OF CHEST

    CAVITY
    BY DR SYEDA RAHIMA BOKHARI
    OBJECTIVES
    • We will discuss about anatomy of:
    • Thoracic wall
    • Mediastenum
    CHEST CAVITY
    • The chest cavity is bounded by the chest wall on each side and below
    by the diaphragm.
    • It extends upward into the root of the neck about one fingerbreadth
    above the clavicle on each side
    • The chest cavity can be divided into a median partition, called the
    mediastinum, and the laterally placed pleurae and lungs
    STRUCTURE OF THORACIC WALL
    STRENUM
    RIBS
    COSTAL CARTILAGES
    MUSCLES OF THORACIC WALL
    MUSCLES OF THORACIC WALL

    NERVES OF THORACIC WALL
    SUPRAPLEURAL MEMBRANE
    ENDOTHORACIC FASCIA
    MEDIASTINUM
    • The mediastinum is a partition between the two pleural cavities and
    two lungs.
    • It extends:
    Superiorly to the thoracic outlet and the root of the neck
    Inferiorly to the diaphragm.
    Anteriorly to the sternum
    Posteriorly to the vertebral column
    Superior Mediastinum
