PART 3. Complete the following descriptions in relation the anatomical parts presented below:
MEDIASTINUM. The central part of the thorax between the two pleural cavities contains a group of
structures collectively termed the ________________________________. The mediastinum extends
from the ________________________________above to the ______________________________
below and from the _______________________ in front to the
________________________________ behind (see the figure above). By convention, the
mediastinum is divided into superior and inferior parts by an

CONDUCTING SYSTEM. The conducting system of the heart is composed of modified cardiac muscle.
The sinoatrial node also known as the _____________________ initiates the first heartbeat. It is
situated at the ________________________________ close to the opening of the
___________________________. The atrioventricular node and bundles descend behind the
____________________________________ and divides into two branches at the level of the
________________________________. Terminal branches then become a continuous fiber called
the ________________________________
