Boundaries :-

Anterior - sternum

Posterior - T 5 to T 12 vertebrae 

superior - inlet of thorax bounded by 1 st ribs .

medial - manubrium & T1 vertebra 

Inferior - Diaphragm m kilo 0n

Lateral - mediastinal pleura 

Subdivision of mediastinum :-

-mediastinum is divided into superior and inferior by a imaginary line passing through sternal angle and 14 vertebra .

inferior mediastinum is subdivided into anterior middle a posterior part by heart with pericardium .

1) superior mediastinum :- 

- it is the upper part of mediastinum 

Boundaries :-

anterior:- manubrium sternum 

posterior :- T1 to T4 vertebra 

superior :- inlet of thorax 

inferior :- imaginary plane through T4 

lateral :- mediastinum pleura 

Contents :-

5) tubes :- trachea & oesophagus 

6) lymphatics :-

-thymus , thoracic duct , lymph nodes 

Middle mediastinum :-

- it is the subdivion of inferior mediastinum .

- it is formed by pericardium & heart .

Boundaries :-

-Anterior :- anterior mediastinum
