Answer:

It is placed in the thoracic cavity.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is suspended within a tough fibrous sac , the pericardium, by its connections to the great vessels: the superior and inferior venae cavae, the pulmonary artery and veins, and the aorta. It makes sense for it to be placed there because it is so close to the repository system that they work together.
