==Mediastinum==
==Mediastinum==
The mediastinum contains the heart and all other thoracic organs (heart, oesophagus, trachea, aorta, thymus) except the lungs (which are within the pleural sacs) and the caudal vena cava. In regions where the mediastinum contains no organs, it is thin and may be fenestrated. Fenestrations are mainly caudal to the heart. This part of the mediastinum is pushed to the left due to the mass of the larger right lung.
