Explanation

The lungs are located in the thoracic cavity (chest cavity), which is bounded by the ribs, sternum, and vertebral column. The thoracic cavity is separated from the abdominal cavity below by the diaphragm. The pericardial cavity contains only the heart, the buccal cavity is the mouth cavity, and the abdominal cavity contains digestive organs. The thoracic cavity houses both lungs and the heart.
