Which cavity contains the trachea?

Explanation:
The trachea sits in the mediastinum, the central compartment of the thoracic cavity. It travels down the midline from the larynx into the thorax, in the superior mediastinum, before it divides into the main bronchi. The abdominal cavity contains digestive organs; the pleural cavities surround the lungs; the pericardial cavity surrounds the heart. The trachea itself lies within the mediastinal space, not in those other cavities.
