Summary Introduction
To describe: Mediastinum and its contents.
Introduction: The study of the human body can be divided into anatomy and physiology. Anatomy studies about the relationship and structure of the body parts, while physiology deals with the functions of body parts and the whole body. The study of human anatomy and physiology together forms a better understanding of the human body.
