Body Cavities Contain the visceral organs
Axial portion • Head • Neck • Trunk
Appendicular portion • Arms • Legs
Axial cavity divided: • Dorsal c. • Cranial: skull, brain • Spinal: spinal cord
Ventral c. • Thoracic: above the diaphragm • Abdominopelvic: below diaphragm to floor of pelvis
Abdominopelvic • Abdominal: stomach, liver, gall bladder, spleen, small intestine, and most of the large intestine
Pelvic: end of large intestine, urinary bladder, internal reproductive organs.
Smaller cavities within the head • Oral: teeth, tongue • Nasal: paranasal sinuses, right and left divided by the septum
Middle ear: middle ear bones • Orbital: eyes, associated skeletal muscles and nerves
Membranes • Pleural membranes: associated with the lung • Parietal pleura: line the lung compartments
Visceral pleura: membrane covering the lung • Pleural cavity: space between the pleura
Serous fluid: substance within the pleural cavity • Mediastinum: portion of thoracic cavity separating the heart, esophagus, trachea, and thymus from the lungs.
Pericardial membranes: • Visceral pericardium: membranes surrounding the heart • Parietal pericardium: second layer, more fibrous
Pericardial cavity: space between • Abdominal cavity: peritoneal membranes • Parietal peritoneum: lines the walls of the cavity
Visceral peritoneum: covers the internal organs • Peritoneal cavity: space between
